About This Show

Combining the slyness of The Daily Show with the surreal, warp-speed patter of a Looney Tunes cartoon, the Reduced Shakespeare Company (or RSC, as it is familiarly known) turns English literature into a wilder ride than it ever was in school. All the Great Books (Abridged) believes that less is more, and therefore presents a little Dickens, a short Longfellow and reduced Proust, taking audiences on a roller-coaster ride through the world’s greatest books. The Literary Canon is about to explode.

All the Great Books (Abridged) is presented in repertory with The Complete History of America (Abridged). The performance schedule is as follows:
