Synopsis - 'The Incomplete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)' is a fast-firing devised comedy, inspired by 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), which does just that in a single act. This improvisational play is full of energy as the characters run across the stage and keep you guessing how they will pull off the next play. Clever use of some interesting costumes also adds to the fun. The play starts with an eccentric version of Romeo and Juliet, followed by Othello, which is done as a rap song (the infamous “Othello Rap” but with a twist). Next come the freshly parodied versions of Julius Caesar and Antony & Cleopatra, developed from scratch, full of blind soothesayers, drunken wars and lascivious asps!
