Description In a world where we constantly lament that we are "time-poor", who has the time or indeed the stamina to endure the daunting length of the Immortal Bard’s canon? So join us once again as we present a bold, speedy, irreverent romp through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays that aims to out-Python Monty!
Three brave actors brazenly blend the best of the brilliant Bard with the scrapings from the bottom of the absurdity barrel in this farcical feast of inspired lunacy. A side-splitting roller coaster ride involving improvisation, pop culture and audience participation, as well as the fastest, funniest "Hamlet" you’re ever likely to see.
Tim Overton joins original cast member and comedian Damian Callinan.
