Reduced Shakespeare Company. Written and directed by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor They’ve skewered history, the Bible and the world’s most celebrated playwright, now the Reduced Shakespeare Company tackles the subject it was born to reduce. Following a hugely successful, critically acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014, the Reduced Shakespeare Company will set out to reduce the UK to tears of laughter in Spring 2015. Tickets to The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) are far more affordable than tickets to an amusement park, but you’ll come away with the same feeling of nausea and motion sickness. From the high-brow to the low and everything in-between, the bad boys of abridgment leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes. “This show proves (the Reduced Shakespeare Company) have not lost their touch - or their remarkable energy.” The Stage Suitable for 8+
