LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
REDUCED SHAKESPEARE COMPANY'S
THE COMPLETE WORLD OF SPORTS (abridged)
by Reed Martin and Austin Tichenor East Coast Premiere!
September 9 - October 3, 2010 The "bad boys of abridgement" sprint through the world of sports at record-breaking speed in this brand-new championship comedy. From the earliest cavemen playing "Neanderthal in the Middle" to your own kid's soccer practice, it'll be a marathon of madness and mayhem as the entire history of world sports explodes in a tour de farce of physical theatre. It reduces every sport ever played on every continent in the entire history of the world. Is Bowling really a sport? What about Poker or Competitive Eating? Which is more boring - Baseball or Cricket? Who invented Curling and Synchronized Swimming and why in the world are they in the Olympics? The Complete World of Sports (abridged) is a profound piece of theatre for even the most intractable couch potato. As America's infatuation with all things athletic continues, The Complete World of Sports (abridged) is a show whose time has come!
