On Friday, March 26th, we went to see the "other" RSC (Reduced Shakespeare Company) at the Criterion Theatre in London. This was a very hilarious production of all 37 of Shakespeare's works performed in 97 minutes. This fast-paced, high-energy, irreverent show had the audience rolling with laughter from beginning to end.
The play was not suggested for those "who have heart ailments, back problems, English degrees, inner ear disorders, and/or people inclined to motion sickness," warned the American cast at the beginning of the show. The more familiar an audience member was with Shakespeare, the better the one understood the RSC version of his works.
