Don’t miss this comedy classic: Shakespeare (Abridged) at Zabeel Theatre this Wednesday

Get ready for a whirlwind of wit, chaos and non-stop laughs as the internationally acclaimed comedy The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) returns to Dubai for a strictly limited run.
From 21 to 24 May, the Zabeel Theatre at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray will host this riotous theatrical event, where three high-energy performers race through all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays in just 97 minutes — with hilarious results.
Expect everything from Othello performed as a rap to Titus Andronicus reimagined as a cooking show and The Histories turned into an American football game. No play is safe, and no moment is predictable in this fast-paced parody that puts a side-splitting spin on the Bard’s classics.
This updated 2025 edition promises fresh jokes, wild new twists, and even more Shakespearian silliness. Known for its sell-out shows across the globe, this clever and chaotic comedy is anything but traditional theatre; it’s Shakespeare with a slapstick twist.
Whether you’re a literature buff or just looking for a night of theatrical fun, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) guarantees 97 minutes of pure entertainment.
