Corn Stock Theatre Presents THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) [REVISED]

Corn Stock Theatre continues its Summer Showcase series with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]. The upbeat comedy plays in Upper Bradley Park July 29 through August 15.

A longtime London favorite, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] comes to Peoria as a comedy in full force. Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield in 1989, this revised edition brings new laughs to a worldwide phenomenon. Set in Grandma's attic, three actors take on the daunting task of cramming each of the Bard's 37 plays into one performance. From changing of script words to someone's interpretation to ugly wigs, this whirlwind experience is sure to leave audiences of all ages roaring with laughter.

Anna Oxborrow directs Corn Stock's rendition of the nonstop play. Of its classic theatre themes, she says "You don't have to know Shakespeare or be an expert to enjoy this play. If you are up for a great evening of laughter, this is the play for you!" Oxborrow leads a cast of three, featuring Sam Hipp, Kayla Blue, and Jeff Craig, all seasoned performers.
