The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare (Abridged) – Dubai, UAE.

By popular demand the fantastic comedy returns to Dubai for a strictly limited season. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is an irreverent fast-paced romp through Shakespeare’s plays, which has played to millions around the world and was nominated for the Timeout Dubai Nightlife Award for best production. The world’s greatest bard-busters bring madness and mayhem in bucketfuls with them. Now revised for 2016 with extra Shakespeary bits and all new (still rubbish) gags!

Get ready for a fast, furious and frenetic 97 minutes featuring every one of Shakespeare’s 37 plays like you’ve never seen them before. Including Othello as a Rap song, Titus Andronicus presented as a cooking show and The Histories turned into an American football game – it’s Shakespeare that would make the great man turn in his grave – with a grin on his face!

London’s longest running comedy comes to Dubai for a strictly limited season of performances. Starring the brilliant Andrew Hodges, Gary Fannin & Peter Brooke, Shakespeare has never been so accessible before. Sit through Hamlet for four hours? No need – catch it performed backwards in half a minute!

This hilarious show runs at the Centrepoint Theatre, DUCTAC, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai from 22^nd to the 27th to 26^th November 2016. It is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd.

Please see the official show website www.completeshakespeare.co.uk for more information.
