The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged - By The Reduced Shakespeare Company

A farce accomplishing all of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets in 97 minutes- an acting tour de force! Bring a memorized comedic monologue, no more than 3 minutes (optional, but highly recommended). We will email you sides, as well, when you sign up for a slot. 

Characters:
Actor 1- M or F, Late Teens to Late 20’s “Daniel” Often leads the show, the arguable “straight man” of the group, the most level headed.

Actor 2- M or F Late Teens to Late 20’s“Jess” A “pre-eminent Shakespearean scholar,” he often provides background on the plays he sometimes knows little about, and plays many roles in the different sketches the troupe puts on. Often overdramatic, and over the top.

Actor 3- M or F, Late Teens or Early 20’s “Adam” Exactly the opposite of Jess when it comes to information, Adam relies on Wikipedia, and sometimes isn’t totally in to the performance. All of the women he plays are in a similar wig and vomit frequently because of his feeling that “layers make [a character] too complex”

The Loveliest Afternoon of The Year- By John Guare
