William Shakespeare

Playwright

Shakespeare is widely recognized as the greatest English-language playwright of all time. By the end of 1592, he was an established actor and playwright in London, eventually becoming part-owner of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men and after 1603, the King’s Men. Shakespeare wrote at least the 36 plays published in the First Folio, as well as 154 sonnets and several long poems.

Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess Winfield

Playwrights (Complete Works)

The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired, charismatic comics, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, meant to be performed in 97 minutes, by three actors. Fast paced, witty, and physical, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike.
