I was wondering how many of you have seen the reduced Shakespeare Company... They are as good as Monty Python! They do Shakespeare's plays, except reduced... and funnier...

Yeah, I've seen them in London a couple of years ago.

The whole Hamlet thing is probably the highlight of the show. I had to study Hamlet for two years (Yes, I was suprised there was that much to learn too....) So reducing it to 1 minute backwards was good to see.

They also do a reduced history of america and of britain as well I think.

Never saw them. Heard of them though. I'd love to see them.

As for the reduced America thingy;
If those guys can do a reversed Hamlet in one minute.. I bet their reduced America thing is a 10 second gig... tops! ;)
(Does the USA have a history?)

Of course it has a history! We spent almost an entire year in school learning about it....

Me? No, it isn't...

Of all of the ones they did, Hamlet was the best. Especially the ghost. They have a little SDock puppet that makes funny noises... WHEEEEEEEE!
