Enjoy Shakespeare but too "time-poor" to endure the full length plays? This is the show for you!

Cast: Nathan O'Keefe
In blazing hilarity that aims to out-Python Monty, The complete works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is a bold trip through all of Shakespeare's 37 plays in just 99 minutes!
In a world where we constantly lament that we are "time-poor", who has enough hours in the day or indeed the stamina to endure the daunting lenth of such a canon?
Three brave actors brazenly blend the best of the brillian Bard with the bottom of the absurdity barrel in this farcical feast of inspired lunacy. A side-splitting rollercoaster ride involving improvisation, pop culture and audience participation, as well as the fastest, funniest Hamlet you're ever likely to see (the current record stands at 43 seconds!).
These guys seem to be making it up as they go along, getting by on blind enthusiasm and boundless energy in a performance that William Shatner ... er, Shakespeare ... would be proud of.
In a production bursting with comic energy, it's guaranteed to convert even the most resistant to the splendours of Shakespeare.
May the Bard be with you!
This performance is part of Come Out 2011.
"I love directing comedies and this one's an absolute cracker!" says Director Adam Cook.
"If you've been allergic to Shakespeare until now, this show is the perfect remedy! In a production bursting with comic energy and featuring appearances by sock puppets and sharks, vampires and dinosaurs, severed heads, kilted poltergeists, lobotomies and a fair bit of projectile vomiting, it's guaranteed to convert even the most resistant to the splendours of Shakespeare."
