The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged)

By now a comedy classic, this three-actor romp through the Bard's plays is full of parody, improvisation and farce. Among its many wacky wonders are Othello, done as a rap song, Titus Andronicus portrayed as a cooking show and audience participation as Ophelia's subconscious in Hamlet. The play made a hilarious debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (1987) and then ran for nine record-breaking years at The Criterion Theatre in London. Now one of the world's most popular plays, it has been enacted in many languages.

The Complete Works plays March 22-April 7 in the Long Haul room at America On Wheels, A Museum of Over The Road Transportation, 5 N. Front Street, Allentown.
