All the Great Books (Abridged) November 15, 2006

From the creators of The Complete Works of Shakepeare (abridged), hold on for dear life as the literary canon explodes and launches a fast-paced, funny crash course through all those classics you should have read in school but probably didn't. The audience? High School Seniors that didn't pass !Intro to Literature'. Thrown by Thoreau? Wish Swift was swifter? Then have a little Dickens, a bit of reduced Proust, and a Longfellow that's shorter. With an inspired mix of verbal dexterity and physical comedy, three actors rip and race through nearly 90 famous texts with silliness and sophisticated irreverence. Perfect for high brow and low brow tastes alike.
