The Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]” is an irreverent and fast-paced romp of all the Bard’s 37 plays in 97 minutes. This was London’s longest running comedy, having spent nine years in London’s West End. Join these madcap men in tights as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies in one wild and memorable ride.

Tickets are free for Davidson Students, $22 for General Public, $17 for Faculty/Staff/Seniors, and $12 for non-Davidson students.
