Theatre Eastern is proud to announce their first production of 2010, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is a fast-paced comedy where three actors try to relate all of Shakespeare’s plays to the audience in an hour or so, playing all the parts themselves. This mix of excerpts from Shakespeare, mixed with contemporary storytelling, promise a show that should delight Shakespeare fans and make others look at Shakespeare in a whole new way.
