The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
I just returned this DVD to the Voorhees Branch, and I'm recommending it to everyone. This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Don't be turned off by the word Shakespeare in the title -- you'll love this if you're a Shakespeare fan, if you were forced to read his work in school, or if you've only heard of Shakespeare.
This is a filming of an off-Broadway show performed by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. The group performs a slapstick version of all 37 Shakespeare plays, all in 90 minutes. See the Othello Rap, a hilarious retelling of Romeo and Juliet, a re-enactment of Hamlet with audience participation and much more.
