The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)

Props to MSU for presenting "Complete Works" in Studio Director Heather Hamilton said she told her actors to learn the script … and then she stepped back and let them go.

By staging a popular comedy, an OKC theater takes on 'Complete Works' of William Shakespeare "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]" is playing April 17-27 inside Oklahoma Shakespeare's black-box theater.

A swell thing for us to see on a foggy Friday: The rare feature, about Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park's production of the show, that accurately covers its history. It even links to the article Jess wrote for American Theatre magazine. Oh, and happy belated, WS! www.oklahoman.com/story/entert...

It's a beautiful spring #throwupthursday! It would have been around this time of year in 1991 or 1992 that a rare thing happened: Reed Martin worked the #RenaissancePleasureFaire in Devore, CA.

Backstage just before *Hamlet.*

The time: Night, obvs!

Another #ThrowupThursday finds the "Spring" newsletter from 1989, announcing our ill-fated run at the Coronet Theater. LA Times reviewer Sylvie Drake got into a car accident en route to the press premiere, and boy was her review cranky. We never played Los Angeles again.

Our review of this review of our review? #Shakespeare #Theatre #HornTootTuesday.

The wax seal of Eric Glipping, King of Denmark 1267-1278.

Obverse of wax seal, with description and inscribed, "100 HAMLET 1982."

Costumes Goddess @mermaidsasa.bsky.social came across this relic: A gift given to the cast of RSC's HAMLET celebrating its 100th performance, back in 1982. Jess calculates that by the time he retired in 1992, he'd played the Dane more than Olivier, Gielgud, and Branagh combined. #Throwupthursday.

UPDATE: We did have to release the Caliban, in the form of international agents and lawyers, as this production is unlicensed. The Indian lad who received a "cease and desist" pled ignorance to having done anything wrong. The show will go on, but DON'T DO IT AGAIN!! Yeesh. License it, folks!

Correction, 1991! #throwupthursday.

The cover of the Ann Arbor News Entertainment Weekly for February 1990 with The RSC and CWOWSA featured.

The show, newly clowned up with Reed Martin having replaced Daniel Rover Singer in the RSC (@reduced.bsky.social) was the toast of Ann Arbor this month back in 1990.

A feature about an upcoming production in Mumbai that doesn't mention the authors names.

Yet another nation seems, ay *seems,* to have discovered the show and is performing it in the sixth most populous city in the world. Funny, no mention of authorship. I hope we don't have to release the Caliban!

Actually, the Drury Creek Stage at hot, dusty old Paramount Ranch!

First Time in 9 Years MU Students Perform at Festival - Millersville News The last time Millersville students performed at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival was 2016.

@millersvilleuni.bsky.social got their production in just in time. The (revised) [again] script is way too LGBTQ+ and pro-choice for a Trump-ified Kennedy Center.
