  2. All the Great Books (Abridged)


The Reduced Shakespeare Company presents its signature wit and whirlwind energy to All the Great Books (Abridged)—a 98-minute romp through the literary canon like you've never seen before. From Confucius to Thoreau, Swift to Tennyson, no classic is safe from this fast-paced, irreverent joyride. Whether you're a literature buff or just vaguely remember your summer reading list, this hilarious performance tackles everything you didn’t quite get around to reading in school, delivered with the RSC’s trademark comic chaos. Buckle up—this is one wild ride through the world’s greatest (and shortest) stories.
