The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) runs from 15 May to 8 June at the Cremorne Theatre, QPAC.
The show is a fast, furious, and side-splitting sprint through the Bard’s best (and weirdest) moments. Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, this irreverent romp condenses all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays into 97 minutes of satire, physical comedy, and improvisation.
Performed by a cast of three, the show races through Shakespeare’s tragedies, comedies, and histories with hilarity, melodrama, and a heavy dose of absurdity. Audiences will experience tragic deaths, wild romances and more ridiculous wigs than a royal court as the performers attempt to tackle every play and sonnet in one whirlwind performance.
This all new, Australian production is presented by Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Woodward Productions and Neil Gooding Productions. Directed by Darren Gilshenan. Starring Amy Ingram, Stephen Hirst and Tomas Pocilujko.
