The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

Fremont Centre Theatre
1000 Fremont Avenue South Pasadena

In this madcap comedy from Metamorphosis Theatre, three guys in tights (Jo Crandall, Patrick Chein and Justin Fisher) set out to perform all 37 of the Bard's plays in less than 100 minutes -- with hilarious results. Shakespeare's classics undergo some changes, of course. Titus Andronicus becomes a cooking show; Othello is summarized in rap; the authentically Scottish tragedy Macbeth turns into a broad comedy; and Hamlet explores the depth and breadth of the Bard's masterpiece from several comedic angles, ending up with a version lasting less than a minute. And that's just the beginning. Created by the Reduced Shakespeare Company and first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show ran for almost a decade in London and has since traveled all over the world before landing here at South Pasadena's Fremont Centre Theatre.
