Reduced Shakespeare Company in "All the Great Books (Abridged)"

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • 7:30 PM

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 like you've never seen before. From Confucius to Thoreau, Swift to Tennyson, no classic is safe from this fast-paced, irreverent joyride. Whether you're a literature buff or just vaguely remember your summer reading list, this hilarious performance tackles everything you didn’t quite get around to reading in school, delivered with the RSC’s trademark comic chaos. Buckle up—this is one wild ride through the world’s greatest (and shortest) stories.

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 we’ve given this show a PG-13 rating: Pretty Good If You’re Thirteen.
