An irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard's Plays. Blazing hilarity that aims to out-Python Monty, out-Simpson Homer and out-Stooge Curly and Moe.
37 plays, 33 brave actors, 22 hours!

Kay Allmand, Mark Moede and Ryan Schabach perform in this irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s comedies, histories and tragedies. Featuring quick-witted adlibs and lots of audience interaction, the show’s trademark is blazing hilarity that aims to out-Python Monty, out-Simpson Homer and out-Stooge Curly and Moe.

Door Shakespeare’s three brave actors brazenly blend the best of the brilliant Bard with the bottom of the absurdity barrel to produce a farcical feast of inspired lunacy. Whether you are the Bard’s biggest fan or haven’t read a word since high school, this laugh-out-loud production is sure to win you over. If you’re lucky, they may even do it backwards!

Warning! This show is a high-speed roller-coaster type condensation of all of Shakespeare’s plays and is not recommended for people with heart ailments, bladder problems, inner-ear disorders and/or people inclined to motion sickness.

Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield, the play became London’s longest-running comedy and holds the self-proclaimed world record for the shortest performance of Hamlet on record, clocking in at 43 seconds.
