LINCOLN
Opening
Sept. 26 at Lincoln College will be “The Complete Works of William
Shakespeare (Abridged).
The comic adaptation of multiple Shakespeare works was first
performed in 1987 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world’s
largest arts festival held annually in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was
written and performed by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.
It has become one of the world’s most popular shows, and is notable
for holding the world record for the shortest-ever performance of
Hamlet (43 seconds).
The production relies heavily on parody and improvisation with no
two performances ever the same.
The Lincoln College presentation will feature special guest director
Natalie Reiko. It will be performed at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 26-30 and at
2:30 p.m., Oct. 1, at the Hostick Theatre in the Johnson Center on
the Lincoln College campus.
