Assumption Knight Players Present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]

12 actors, all alike in dignity, in fair Sunderbruch Auditorium, where we perform 37 plays in 90 minutes! Join the Assumption Knight Players on October 14 and 15 at 7 PM and on October 16 at 2 PM for our fall play, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED] [AGAIN]. The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. Admission is $10 at the door or online at ShowTix4U.com/events/78 , free with student activity passes.
