Complete Works of William Shakespeare(Abridged)
a comedy by Adam Long, Daniel Singer & Jess Winfield
This fast-paced, gag-a-second delight deconstructs all 37 of the Bard's plays - plus the sonnets - into a single two-hour whirlwind. Titus Andronicus becomes a cooking show; Othello, a rap song. All of the comedies are combined into one convoluted reading; the histories are acted out through an American football game with the British Crown as the football.

In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a cheerful roadside diner. Five weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub singer, is the passenger with the most to worry about. She's been pursued, made love to and finally kidnapped by a 21-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of a headstrong bull.

In the Eisenhower years of the 1950s, the youngest of the Pazinski family, 12-year-old Rudy, is a smart, wise-cracking kid who's starting to question family values and the Roman Catholic Church. When Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed he'd rather shop around for a more "fun" religion, all hell breaks loose.
