The Talisman Theatre is "delighted to present" the hilarious and fast-paced comedy The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield.

It is running this August as part of Kenilworth Town Council's 450th anniversary celebrations of Queen Elizabeth I's historic visit to the town. 

This witty and wildly energetic play takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through all 37 of Shakespeare's plays — plus the sonnets — in under two hours, using just three actors and two acts.

Clever, irreverent and packed with quick-fire gags, outrageous costume changes and moments of unexpected poignancy, this production runs from Monday 25 August to Saturday 30.

"This is Shakespeare like you've never seen it before," says director James Harris.

"It's fast, chaotic, and completely hilarious – the perfect summer show!" 

"We're having an absolute blast in the rehearsal room," Harris adds.

"There's so much laughter and creativity. It's been a truly collaborative process – everyone's bringing brilliant ideas to the table, and that energy is definitely going to show on stage." 

The cast features newcomer to the Talisman stage John Harrison as Adam, alongside Connor Bailey as Jess, and Ben Wellicome as Daniel. 

Join the Talisman for an unforgettable evening of Shakespearean silliness that will leave you laughing long after the final bow.

Tickets are selling fast and are available via the website or by contacting the Box Office directly on 01926 856548.
