Get thee forthwith to Citrus Heights' Theatre in the Heights to witness with thine own eyes the wacky antics of three madcap men in tights as they take on the seemingly impossible task of performing each of Shakespeare's 37 plays -- plus the sonnets -- in just 97 minutes. These theater classics undergo some changes, of course -- "Titus Andronicus" becomes a cooking show, "Othello"'s summarized in rap and "Hamlet" is pared down to less than a minute, but all ages will be mightily entertained by the madcap goings-on, which include satire, sight gags, improv, audience participation and more. And even more miraculously, when the curtain finally does come down on "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised]", you'll actually have a general idea of the plot of every comedy, tragedy and historical work ever written by the Bard.
