IT's your last chance to see all of Shakespeare's plays crammed in to 97 minutes tonight.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) currently at the Swan Theatre, Worcester, finishes its run this evening.
The play, originally written by the Reduced Shakespeare Company and first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1987, is in Worcester following a sell out run in the West End. The irreverent, fast paced romp through all of the Bard's plays - in just 97 minutes - has been described as "disgracefully funny".
A cast of three rip through Shakespeare's comedies, histories and tragedies, perform Hamlet forwards, backwards and sideways, Titus Andronicus as a television cookery programme and Othello as a rap. And because they believe the comedies are no where near as funny as the tragedies, all 16 are condensed into one show entitled Four Weddings and a Transvestite. For tickets, priced £16.50, call the Worcester Live box office on 01905 611427.
