DIRECT from London's West End, The Reduced Shakespeare Company comes to The Corn Exchange, Newbury, for two nights.

On Wednesday, June 15, and Thursday, June 16, at 7.45pm, they present their smash-hit show The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged).

The world's greatest bard-busters bring madness and mayhem in bucketfuls.

In this unequalled shortening of Shakespeare that reduces the writing but highlights the hilarity, the energetic ensemble perform for a fast, furious and triumphant 97 minutes featuring every one of Shakespeare's 37 plays like you've never seen them before.

Including Othello as a rap song, Titus Andronicus presented as a cooking show and the histories turned into an American football game - it's Shakespeare that would make the great man turn in his grave.... with a grin on his face.

Forget about sitting through Hamlet for four hours - catch it performed backwards in half-a-minute!

Don't miss the chance to see London's longest-running comedy on a national UK tour.
