The actors condense and parody Shakespeare's works in a high-speed circus of zany improvisation, gags and pratfalls, while incorporating pop culture, absurd female impersonation, audience participation and just plain fun. The show is notable for holding the (self-proclaimed) world record for the shortest-ever performance of Hamlet, clocking in at 43 seconds. The audience is advised to "fasten their seatbelts" for a crazy ride through Elizabethan culture!Videos
