246pp. New book, laminated full-colour dust jacket has slight curling at top back edge. From the founders and owners of the Reduced Shakespeare Company - their production of 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) was one of London's longest-running comedies - comes an irreverent, hugely amusing and surprisingly informative guide to everything you always wanted to know about Shakespeare. Includes lists, definitions, quizzes, essential vocabulary and trademark wit. As the authors point out, most of the entire Shakespeare industry consists of people guessing and making things up - a shocking record, and they're proud to be part of it.

Love Shakespeare? You'll like this book. Hate Shakespeare? You'll love this book. From the theatrical company that has been cutting the Bard down to size for more than a dozen years comes a single volume boasting everything you always wanted to know about William Shakespeare's life and work--but couldn't be bothered to ask.
In one slim volume, Reduced Shakespeare delivers the plays, the life, and the legend in twelve easy pieces. What's the theme of Hamlet? Poop or get off the pot. What's essential preparation for an evening of outdoor Shakespeare? Bring lots of coffee . . . and use the bathroom before the show. Liberally sprinkled with lists, definitions, quizzes, essential vocabulary, and the Reduced Shakespeare Company's trademark irreverence and wit, this "reduced" handbook will delight enthusiasts, skeptics, and fledgling fans alike.
