Four actors from Teatr Montownia take on a seemingly impossible task: presenting all of Shakespeare's works in a single evening. The programme features quotations from the most famous dramas, jokes about stereotypical understanding of the famous playwright's work, Titus Andronicus as a cooking show, and Hamlet at accelerated speed. Audiences may be invited to participate in the action.
This comedic play was written by three American students and has enjoyed success for twenty years — for over a decade it was performed at the Criterion Theatre at Piccadilly Circus on London's West End. The production is directed by Canadian John Weisgerber, who previously staged the show "Slap! 50 Shades of Grey" at Teatr Polonia.
The premiere is also an opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Teatr Montownia's activities.
The performance is intended for audiences aged 12 and above.
