The second longest-running West End comedy in history with translations into over thirty languages, “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” sees three charismatic, widely ambitious actors attempt to present all thirty-seven of Shakespeare’s plays in a single performance. They have a rudimentary concept of the stories, a smattering of famous lines, and a meagre assortment of costumes and props. Thus armed, the three brazenly launch into their task with an earnest focus and breakneck enthusiasm.

“The Carnival of Animals” is a classical music composition by Camille Saint-Saëns, often used to introduce children to the world of classical Western music with movements devoted to elephants, chickens, and turtles. Our production features Mime artist Trevor Copp’s interpretation of these animals - watch him become a clucking, growling, and flapping parade of animals who bridge this wonderful music to the hearts of children and adults alike. Featuring pianists Renée Huynh and Amelia Yates.
