The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

Comments (0) By CARLA BRADLEY Thursday, Apr 14 2011

Seventy-five Shakespearian characters are brought to life by three actors in the Dionysus Theatre production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Playwrights Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield contemporized and shortened Shakespeare’s comedies, tragedies and sonnets into 90 minutes’ worth of stage time. Rap music, a cooking show and a modern American football match are all part of new storylines.
