The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
Candlelight Productions and Mirth Hall Productions invite you to...
...a hysterical, fast-paced, and irreverent tribute to ol’ Willy Shakespeare.
Some 37 plays and a whole load of sonnets (in truth, 154) have been attributed to the pen of William Shakespeare. In this play three actors will attempt to perform ALL of those plays (and some sonnets for good measure) in less than two hours…
Featuring...
Titus Andronicus as a cooking show,
a rap version of Othello,
and the entirety of Hamlet presented in less than a minute,
this parody of the Bard will have you in stitches.
You'll leave seeing Shakespeare in a completely different way!
“If you like Shakespeare, you’ll like this show.
If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll love this show!”
– The Today Show
Starring Shane Henry, Trelawny Kean and David Todman.

Very funny!!
Very funny. A great way to see Shakespeare - super accessible and easy to understand.
Very clever and funny, good production
Very clever!
Nice and funny
Nice funny and good comedy.
Ejoyable, funny and a good entertainment
Great fun. I hope this company has lots of success. It was everything we want from entertainment. Without knowing a lot of Shakespeare, we could still enjoy all the humorous references.
So much fun!5 stars.
Well paced, good acting, funny and well spoken. I can see these young actors going forward with their trade.
Absolutely loved it!
What a clever, entertaining group of people.
a warm & lively performance ..
lots of great comedic moments ...
3 energetic actors who went to great
lengths to give us a fun time ...
eg: David's efforts
re: playing around
with the Bard's words as they sound
in our time
& oh that motorised horse ... !
very simple moments but they
had a huge
impact & made me laugh
out loud ...
some parts were way too long ...
the King with his cane
groaning @ each step for instance
(yes it was
very funny but it was way too long) ...
lots of dialogue was often unable to be
heard ...
eg: the play presented as a cooking
show ...
would have liked it slowed down a
little ...
gags related to Geoff (guy in control of lights)
very good ...
audience interaction great ...
i quite like audience interaction that uses wit & chooses not to
mock their audience for cheap
gags ...
ok i also loved the use of vomit ... !!
bring on the vomit ...
David reflecting on wanting theatre
to be like sport
with costumes ...
was a great insightful offering ...
so true ...
candlelight productions were also
attentive & kind to their audience ...
pop-corn & fairy bread ...
a simple but splendid touch ... !
cheers & thank-you to all ...
Thoroughly engaging, entertaining and full of laughs. Great chemistry on stage and with the audience.
Very clever....fast paced needing listening ears....enjoyable and well performed
Our high-school Shakespeare is a little rusty, but I think we got most of the jokes and references! Fast-paced and rollicking good fun, the madness and random costume changes definitely kept things interesting. Dave's physical comedy and facial expressions were the highlight of the night for us. A very original and boisterous play, we enjoyed it immensely!
Well performed, energetic and a lot of fun
Extremely funny!
Fun very original
