   The Story  

This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of all of Shakespeare's plays, and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or inclined to motion sickness. All 37 plays in 97 minutes. An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays, it was London's longest-running comedy. This show embodies one of comedy's most essential impulses; the adolescent urge to take a baseball bat to the culturally revered. A mix of pratfall, puns, willful misreading of names and dialogue, clunky female impersonations, clean-cut ribaldry, and broad burlesque.

The Baden Square Renaissance Festival was a success. Conceived to complement this production, it gave area residents and visitors a fun way to spend the day. Information and pictures can be found on it's Facebook page.

Produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing
