ZOUNDS - here they come again! The Reduced Shakespeare Company once again plays a season at Birmingham Hippodrome with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) - all 37 of Shakespeare's plays in just 97 minutes.

The show runs at Birmingham Hippodrome for four performances only opening on Thursday, May 26 and running until Saturday, May 28.

The dynamic trio have packed their tights and tabards and are heading for Birmingham in the original shortening of Shakespeare that reduces the writing but highlights the hilarity.

The energetic ensemble perform for a fast, furious and frenetic 97 minutes featuring every one of Shakespeare's 37 plays like you've never seen them before - including Othello as a rap song, Titus Andronicus presented as a cooking show and the histories turned into an American football game.

Sit through Hamlet for 4 hours? No need - catch it performed backwards in half a minute!
