Confused by Confucius? Thoroughly thrown by Thoreau? Wish Swift was swifter? Tennyson tinier? Then buckle up and hop aboard as the three cultural guerrillas of the Reduced Shakespeare Company zip through everything you didn’t get around to reading in school. America’s best loved comedy troupe takes you on a ninety-eight-minute roller-coaster ride through its compact compendium of the world’s great books. The literary canon explodes as the bad boys of abridgement unleash a brand-new comic outrage on an unsuspecting public.

CONTENT ADVISORY: In the spirit of Shakespeare’s comedies, Reduced Shakespeare Company shows contain comic depictions of violence, mild innuendo, bawdy language and the occasional rude word. All children (and parents) are different, so they've chosen to rate their shows PG-13: Pretty Good If You’re Thirteen.
