The Eagle Theatre, located at 208 Vine Street in Hammonton, NJ, will continue its Main Stage Season with the comedy The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), running from March 1 through March 23.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is an uproarious comedy in which three actors perform shortened versions of all of Shakespeare's 37 plays in under 97 minutes. Since debuting in 1987, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) has become one of the world's most Popular Productions. The play is notable for holding the self-proclaimed record for the fastest performance of Hamlet, clocking in at 43 seconds, as well as the fastest performance of Hamlet performed backwards, clocking in at 42 seconds. Containing numerous pop culture references and audience interactions, each performance of this show is uniquely hilarious.
