The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged

5 friends got together one night and decided that Shakespeare was just too long. They came up with an idea to shorten all 37 of his plays into one hour and a half sprint! Audiences were wowed at the District Theatre (then Theatre on the Square) second stage as they were taken through all the comedies, a football re-enactment of the histories and even a sped up (and backwards!) Hamlet!

This was 4th Wall’s first performance and while working on it, the group decided to come out with a bang. It had been done before-lots! But they had decided no one else had done it the way they would. Creating 5 distinct comedic personalities/stylings to blend together into a beautiful, cacophonous chaotic churning of character creations. Try saying that 5 times fast. Anyway, we think the trailer speaks for itself.
