The Garaway High School Drama Department will present The Compleat Works of Willm Shakespeare, a comedy, in the Garaway Middle School Gym on Friday, Nov. 18, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m.

It is a parody of plays written by William Shakespeare. All are performed in short form and are filled with laughable moments.

The play was written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, former founding members of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987 and later played at the Criterion Theatre in London, where it ran for nine record-breaking years. It has become one of the world’s most popular shows, playing frequently in a variety of languages. It is notable for holding the (self-proclaimed) world record for the shortest-ever performance of Hamlet, clocking in at 43 seconds. With bits from Romeo and Juliet, Othello that includes some rap and a cooking show that is part of Titus Andronicus, there is sure to be a laugh for everyone.

Tickets for adults and students are on sale now. Senior citizens are admitted free with an athletic department pass.
