(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- The Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg will present the Reduced Shakespeare Company's production of The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged) on Sunday, November 5, 2023 at 2:00pm. They've skewered history, the Bible, and the world's most celebrated playwright. Now, they tackle the subject the company was born to reduce. From the high-brow to the low, this show covers comedy through the ages.
The “bad boys” of abridgement leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes. Warning to audience members: Side-effects may include uncontrollable laughing and painful running gags.
In the spirit of Shakespeare’s comedies, Reduced Shakespeare Company shows contain comic depictions of violence, mild innuendo, bawdy language, and the occasional rude word. All children (and parents) are different, so the company has chosen to rate its shows “PG-13”— Pretty Good If You’re 13.”
Tickets for The Complete History of Comedy (Abridged), cost $50, $40, and $35.
