STEEL RIVER
PLAYHOUSE presents THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED)
[REVISED]

Who
would be crazy enough to perform Hamlet
in only 43 seconds? Backwards? The cast of THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM
SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED], that’s who! Using various props and costume
pieces, and performed by only three actors, COMPLETE WORKS, as it is fondly
known, condenses all of Shakespeare’s thirty-seven plays into two hours of zany
comedy, pop culture references, improvisation, and unexpected consequences.



COMPLETE WORKS, conceived and written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess
Winfield, was originally performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987 and later played at the Criterion Theatre in London, where it ran for nine years. It has become one of the world's
most popular shows, playing frequently in a variety of languages. COMPLETE
WORKS is a show for Shakespeare buffs, Shakespeare haters, and Shakespeare
novices alike!



Steel River’s upcoming production is directed by Philadelphia-based writer,
director, performer, and instructor Jack Tamburri and stage managed by Kim
Paczkowski. The cast is comprised of local actors Joseph Cataldo, Maria
Jarrell, and Philip Seader. 

THE
COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED] runs Fridays through
Sundays for just TWO weekends, May 9, 10, 16, and 17 at 8:00 PM and May 11 and
