About
The Theatre Chipping Norton and Selladoor Worldwide present a new version of the West End classic, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) – rebooted and reimagined for 2026.
All 37 plays. Three actors. One wildly funny show.
The worldwide comedy hit returns with a brand-new, updated version of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), a fast, furious and gloriously absurd sprint through all of the Bard’s tragedies, comedies and histories.
Expect Hamlet performed backwards, Titus Andronicus as a YouTube cooking tutorial, and all of the History plays turned into a chaotic football match where the crown is kicked from king to king. Throw in lightning-fast costume changes, sword fights, outrageous improvisation and the result is a wildly inventive and hilarious celebration of Shakespeare.
After nine years in London’s West End, two TV specials and performances in over 20 countries, the Reduced Shakespeare Company bring their legendary Shakespeare spoof to Theatre Royal Wakefield.
Presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International: mtishows.co.uk
