In association with 7 Days and sponsored by Radio 2 (official radio station), Expatwoman (Official online partner), Dubai Night Planner and Connector Publishing.

Due to popular demand – this fantastic comedy returns for a UAE tour after its sell out seasons in 2006, 2007 and 2009. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is an irreverent fast-paced romp through the Bard’s plays, which has played to millions around the world. The world’s greatest bard-busters bring madness and mayhem in bucketfuls with them. Now revised for 2013 with extra Shakespeary bits and all new (still rubbish) gags!

Get ready for a fast, furious and frenetic 97 minutes featuring every one of Shakespeare’s 37 plays like you’ve never seen them before. Including Othello as a Rap song, Titus Andronicus presented as a cooking show and The Histories turned into an American football game – it’s Shakespeare that would make the great man turn in his grave – with a grin on his face!

London’s longest running comedy comes to Dubai and Abu Dhabi for a strictly limited season of performances. Starring the brilliant Matt Addis, Peter Brooke and John Payton (who also directs), Shakespeare has never been so accessible before. Sit through Hamlet for four hours? No need – catch it performed backwards in half a minute!

This hilarious show runs at the Madinat Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai from 21st to 26th November 2013 and at the Al Jaheli Theatre, AFOC, Abu Dhabi from 28th to 29th November 2013. It is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd.
