Published: 2018-10-01
(Tahlequah, Oklahoma) - Northeastern State University will present The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), a performance by The Reduced Shakespeare Company, at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 11 at the NSU Center for the Performing Arts. The performance is part of the 2018-2019 Sequoyah Institute Performing Arts Series.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the bards 37 plays. For 97 minutes, viewers will join these madcap men in tights as they weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeares comedies, histories and tragedies in one wild and memorable ride that leaves audiences breathless and helpless with laughter.
I think our patrons will be impressed with the skills that this professional company brings to the stage, Assistant Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Dr. Robyn Pursley said. The play itself is a great piece, but having The Reduced Shakespeare Company performing it is a really wonderful treat. The show is definitely an evening of comedy that anyone can enjoy, not just those who love Shakespeare. If you like physical comedy and witty dialogue, then you will enjoy this show.
