If you have young ones studying Shakespeare in school, they may balk at the suggestion you take them to see all 38 of the Bard’s plays in a single sitting. But if you can lure them to The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at the Philadelphia Shakespeare Festival, they may be shocked at how entertaining Shakespeare can be. A ridiculous and hysterical bit of theatrical silliness that presents all of Shakespeare’s plays in a rapid 98 minutes, director Dominick Scudera’s production stars Brian McCann, David Raphaely, and the always-humorous John Zak (March 8-May 19).
