Post5 Theatre will be following up its summer debut of Romeo & Juliet with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged]. Written and originally performed by Adam Long, David Singer, and Jess Winfield, the show attempts to perform, recap, summarize or (occasionally) simply mention each and every one of Shakespeare’s 37 plays in under 120 minutes. High-energy, tongue-in-cheek, and highly irreverent, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged] was London’s longest-running comedy, running for ten years at the Criterion Theatre in the West End.

Post 5 Theatre

Directed by Bruce Hostetler, Post5′s production will open on Friday, February 10th, and run every Thursday-Sunday thereafter through the 25th. There will also be two preview performances on February 8th and 9th. All performances will start promptly at 7:00, and will take place at Eat. Art. Theatre. in the Milepost 5 Community for Creatives in northeast Portland. All shows are free of charge.

Post5 Theatre is dedicated to bringing accessible and affordable classical theatre to Portland, and looks to breathe new energy into classic text, and hopes to fulfill that mission with The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged] this February.
