Actors Comedy Lab and Raleigh Little Theatre Open 'COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED)', 9/14

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF William Shakespeare (abridged) {revised}, the longest running comedy in London's West End, was written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield and will be directed by Rod Rich of Actors Comedy Lab. It will be performed in Raleigh Little Theatre's Gaddy-Goodwin Teaching Theatre located at 301 Pogue Street in Raleigh on September 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28 & 29 at 8 pm and on September 16, 23 & 30 at 3 pm. The price of admission is $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors.

Actors Comedy Lab initially produced the play in 1998 with three male actors, Seth Blum, David Henderson and Jim Regan. Now, 14 years later, the same roles will be played by three female actors, Rebecca Blum (wife of Seth and a principal member of Nickel Shakespeare Girls ), Izzy Burger (last seen in RLT's RUTHLESS and as the Bogle in ACL's JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL), and Tracey Phillips (last seen in ACL's DEAD MAN'S CELL PHONE).

This is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through all 37 of the Bard's plays in 97 minutes. Join this madcap trio of ambitious prop-laden performers as they weave their wicked way though all of Shakespeare's comedies, histories and tragedies in one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
