The Reduced Shakespeare Company will present an updated, 21st century version of its 1990s hit, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) to New Victory Theater, March 5-14.

Reed Martin, Matt Rippy, and Austin Tichenor will star in this show, which takes audiences through raucous, fast-paced parodies of Shakespeare’s 37 plays in 100 minutes or less. The piece will include a send-up of Romeo and Juliet, followed by a Titus Andronicus cooking show, and along the way, a rap version of Othello and a one-minute version of Hamlet.
