repellent shakespeare company
I can't believe that I spent 17 quid on a high school drama club performance last night! The culprit is the notorious Reduced Shakespeare Company and their classless story of The Complete History of America (Abridged). People, DO NOT BE SWAYED BY THEIR FAKE WIT or 2 for 1 special offers like me, I sat at the best seat throughout my theatre-going experience, but never felt much sorrier. (At some point, the three actors spray water at the audience for fun--haha.) Apologies for sounding so bitter, but there's nothing as awful as wasting my time watching a lousy story on stage. The acting wasn't even hammy, it was just silly and cheap. OK, I admit there were some jokes I didn't quite understand due to my ignorance about American history. Moreover, the creative concept of a shortened American history can be genuinely interesting; however, they messed it up with tacky props and retarded humor. I'm now thankful that a) I didn't see them insult Shakespeare and b) the play is so short that I can go home early and try and blank out this hideous experience.
