| | What's New | Reduced Shakespeare Company The Bible: The Complete Word of God Abridged, which plays for one performance each week at The Criterion Theatre, will closed April 2005.
It has played on Thursday evenings only.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company's other two shows currently playing at The Criterion Theatre - The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and The History of America (Abridged) - will be taking an eight week break from 4 April and will return on 31 May 2005.
During this break period The Criterion Theatre will be home to the show Amajuba: Like Doves We Rise, which will run from 5 April to 28 May 2005.
The slapstick is played with precision, the awful costumes and the eve worse wigs are a constant joy... The show emerges as a celebration as well as a send-up... The Daily Telegraph |
Theatre Review | ...It is the mission of these three irreverent Americans to condense the entire canon of Will's 37 plays into one 97-minute evening. And they do it in a style of knockabout frenzied invention which leaves the audience weak with the exertion of helpless laughter... They are both true clowns and clever critics. For the shock-jock tactics they employ to debunk the myths and mystique of the Bard of Avon spring from a very real and profound understanding of the text... [they create] an irresistible surreal intellectual mayhem which blatantly appeals to the lowest instinct of the philistine. The audience adored it and so did I. Bravura course acting of this caliber is a art form in itself and a fine line of discipline which they never overstepped.
The Daily Mail
Such a show could only have been conceived in America. Our own satirists may stoop to the odd spoof of a single Shakespeare play, but it takes an external voice to come up with something so dedicatedly, hilariously disrespectable.
