Sixth Street Melodrama
Friday, Saturday, Sunday "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) This comedy is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's plays. "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged" was London's longest-running comedy, having clocked a very palpable nine years in London's West End at the Criterion Theater. Join Edward Warren, Paul Roberts and Chuck Tatman, three madcap men in tights, as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare's comedies, histories and tragedies in a wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter. This production is geared toward a PG-13 audience. See business page for more information. |
