The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]

ASL-interpreted performance: Aug. 23.

Having shrunk Shakespeare’s wit and wisdom into manageable morsels of madness, Jobsite returns to tear around the stage in doublets and Chuck Taylor’s on a riotous romp through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays plus the sonnets all in an hour and a half.

In this cult hit, the full works of the Bard have been edited into just 90 minutes. All 16 comedies are distilled into one short sketch and the historical plays are performed as a football game. The complete works of William Shakespeare in one evening? Ambitious? Foolhardy? Insane? Absolutely!

"Let's get right to the point: If you're a local-theater fan who's got a friend who loves every type of live performance experience except local theater, saying it's just not their thing, this is probably the first show you need to drag them to ... From the first minutes of the fourth-wall-breaking intro [it] was evident that the three guys onstage were determined above all to entertain the shit out of the audience." – Creative Loafing

"Jobsite still has the timing, wit and versatility to pull off a hectic satire — now with even more polish and finesse ... they got me silent-laughing so hard that I even cried a little." – Tampa Bay Times

"Audiences will be forced to throw out every preconceived notion of Shakespeare as Tampa’s original Bad Boys of Abridgment condense his complete works into a single theatrical experience.
An exceptional production with a stellar cast ... one I will remember for many years to come." – BroadwayWorld

"The actors are unwilling to let any member of the audience have a bad time, and their simple joy is infectious. They are absolutely fearless and unending fun." – St. Petersburg Times

"Think one part Three Stooges, one part Saturday Night Live, and one part fraternity talent show ... they do it so exuberantly, with so much delight in every cascade of spittle, every crotch-grab and pratfall, that you can't help but have a good time watching them." – Weekly Planet
