List Produced & published by The Reduced Shakespeare Company - Performed by Full Cast - Abridged Fiction - COMPACT DISCS Publisher, Reduced Shakespeare Company (March 2003) "The Reduced Shakespeare Company production of The Bible is absolutely outrageous and absolutely wonderful. It's totally irreverent and I think anyone who sees it is going to have a whale of a good time." Robert Brustein - Founding Director, American Repertory Theatre "There is no doubt about it, these three lads are in a league of their own when it comes to vivid originality both in the show itself and its performance. They have sublime moments of surreal theatricality. Sly minds are at work throughout." Jack Tinker - The London Daily Mail "The audience dissolved hysterically into the aisles. The troupe's obvious comic forbears include the Mark Brothers (wordplay and irreverence), the Flying Karamazov Brothers (madcap performance comedy) and vaudeville as reinvented by "Laugh-In" (pace and schtick)." Ron Weiskind - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "This is a slick, fast, very funny show. They are skilled performers with immaculate, sassy American timing." Robert Hewison - The London Sunday Times "Be forewarned: this play is not for you if you don't enjoy laughing continuously for two hours until you soak through all the Kleenex in your pocket with mirthful tears. This is one of the funniest evenings I've spent in a theater." Ellen Pfiefer - The Boston Phoenix "A trIUMPH OF GOOD N' SILLY OVER EVIL" —Boston Globe "PUTS THE FUN BACK INTO FUNDAMENTALISM" —Baltimore Sun "SNAPPY, SLICK, AND UTTERLY ENTERTAINING!" —London Sunday Express "THE BUFFOONERY IS HARD TO RESIST!" —Pittsburgh Post Gazette "SUBLIME MOMENTS OF SURREAL THEAtrICALITY!" —London Daily Mail The good book just got better! It's apocalypse now as the three cultural guerrillas of The Reduced Shakespeare Company set their reductive sites on The Bible. Can bolts of lightning be far behind? Yes, it's an affectionate, irreverent roller coaster ride from fig leaves to Final Judgment as the boys tackle the great theological questions: Did Adam and Eve have navels? Did Moses really look like Charlton Heston? And why isn't the word "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds? Whether you are Catholic or Atheist, Muslim or Jew, Protestant or Purple People Eater, you will be tickled by the RSC's romp through old time religion. Remember... Someone is watching. |
