Reduced Shakespeare Company: The Complete History of America (Abridged)
The Reduced Shakespeare Company is no stranger to regular listenersof NPR and/or the BBC. Renowned for its uncanny ability to encapsulate
the Bard’s great works, and even some
of his dodgier stuff, into witty and concise one-minute versions
for today’s theater goers who just don’t have the time to sit
through three hour plays, the troupe has now started tackling American
history in their new Complete History of America (abriged) DVD.
That’s right — 600 Years of History in 6000 seconds! From Washington to
Watergate, yea verily from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World
to New World Order, the three cultural guerillas of the Reduced Shakespeare
Company will take you on a ninety minute rollercoaster ride through the glorious
quagmire that is American History.
The RSC tackles such controversial questions as: Who really discovered America?
Why did Abe Lincoln free the slaves? How many Democrats does it take to screw
in a lightbulb? History is normally written by the winners… now it’s the RSC’s turn.
