Reduced Shakespeare Company

One of the most regrettably overlooked fake news stories of the past year is the discovery of William Shakespeare’s first dramatic work. Abridged down to 90 minutes, thanks to the able minds of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, this is a world premiere of a lost masterpiece that begins when Puck and Ariel hijack the plot of Comedy of Errors. In the Long Lost First Play, the company weaves the Bard’s most famous characters, greatest lines, and magnificent speeches into an entirely new, comic tour de force.

As NPR says, “something wickedly funny this way comes!…and wickedly smart, too, as you’d expect from the ‘other’ RSC.”
