HONG KONG, CHINA--(Marketwired - Jun 25, 2017) - Experience William Shakespeare as you never have before, see all 37 plays in just 97 minutes! The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (ABRIDGED) is an irreverent romp that moves at a furious pace which has been performed to millions around the world; from the USA to New Zealand, and from Canada to Japan! Now it's your chance to catch them live in Hong Kong! This amazing production is guaranteed to inform, entertain and leave you speechless on the most important historical literary figure in the world! The show returns to the Drama Theatre, The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts from September 19^th to 24^th.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (ABRIDGED) was one of the most successful ever to grace the stages of London's West End, having clocked a very palpable ten years at the Criterion Theatre! Praised by the Los Angeles Times, it was described as "wildly funny" and the Montreal Gazette called it "the funniest show you are likely to see in your entire lifetime!"

"Pithier than (Monty) Python. Irresistible!" said the New York Times, and audiences should be warned as this show is a high-speed roller-coaster through all of Shakespeare's plays and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or people inclined to motion sickness. The Reduced Shakespeare Company will take no responsibility whatsoever, especially with expectant mothers and what they may experience when they watch the show!
