The Reduced Shakespeare Company presents its signature wit and whirlwind energy to All the Great Books (Abridged) - a 98-minute romp through the literary canon unlike any other.

From Confucius to Thoreau, Swift to Tennyson, no classic is safe from this fast-paced, irreverent joyride. The show offers a wild ride through the world’s greatest (and shortest) stories, tackling everything you didn’t quite get around to reading in school, delivered with the RSC’s trademark comic chaos. 

Note: In the playful spirit of Shakespeare’s comedies, Reduced Shakespeare Company performances include comic depictions of violence, mild innuendo, bawdy humor, and the occasional rude word. Every child (and parent) is different, but the company has given this show a PG-13 rating: Pretty Good If You’re Thirteen
