Synopsis
Shakespeare's "complete works" are performed by three actors who change costumes and characters. Beginning with "Romeo and Juliet," they continue through all of the plays in rapid order, performing "Othello," as a rap song; "Titus Andronicus," as a cooking show; the comedies as a football game; and "Hamlet" as a show-ending audience-participation extravaganza -- all the while staying true to Shakespeare's original words.
