DVD - Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) |
|
| The Reduced Shakespeare Company - The Complete Works of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged). Life is short. The complete works of Shakespeare are long. To the rescue: THE REDUCED SHAKESPEARE COMPANY, the three-man comedy troupe known for fast, funny, physical condensation of real serious stuff. They wrap up the Bard's outsized oeuvre in 90 roller-coaster, rib-tickling minutes. After warming up with nothing-sacred send-up of Romeo and Juliet, they're of, dispensing with the comedies in one fell swoop (because the tragedies are funnier). You decide after you see Othello as rap song, Titus Andronicus as a cooking program, and the show's unforgettable finale - Hamlet - told with the help of audience members and lascivious sock puppets. Contains material not seen on the PBS broadcast. Aprox. 90 minutes. Stereo. Color. Comedy. DVD Special features include: Trade Secrets: Two commentaries featuring the stars and the director. Humble Beginnings: Rare footage of an early RSC performance Who Are The Clowns?: Cast bios Pop Quiz: Interactive trivia Say Again: English subtitles Starring Adam Long Reed Martin & Austin Tichenor Warning: High-speed hilarity. Not for people with weak hearts or English degrees. | ||||||
