Bruiser Theatre Company, Belfast presents
THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF SHAKESPEARE

Northern Ireland's top exponents of Physical Theatre in a brand new comedy production, guaranteed to delight fans and new followers of the company alike!

Bruiser presents the phenomenally popular comedy The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged); a hilarious, fast-paced frolic through the Bard’s extensive playbook. Three maniacal actors clad in tights, weave, duck and dive through Shakespeare’s entire catalogue of Comedies, Histories and Tragedies.

From Macbeth to As You Like It, from Romeo and Juliet to The Comedy of Errors, this is one wild evening that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.

No one night is quite like the other as our clowns merge script, improvisation and audience interaction to produce a knock-out night out! From those familiar with The Bard to complete novices this is as much a parody as it is a mischievous introduction to the world's most famous playwright, from top to trampled toe. This is visceral, energetic, physical theatre at its best, in a heart-rattling rollercoaster including the world record for the shortest-ever performance of Hamlet, clocking in at 43 seconds, as well as the fastest performance of Hamlet backwards, at 42 seconds.

Bruiser are no strangers to Shakespeare having produced Othello and A Midsummer Night’s Dream and are thrilled to be bringing the Bard back to the stage on his 400th anniversary celebrations. With Bruiser’s assured stamp of high quality ensemble theatre (The Canterbury Tales, Cabaret, The 39 Steps), The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is a fantastic opportunity for the company to go back to their roots with this dynamic, chaotic and sizzling actor-driven romp.
