If you have the time to get out this weekend, you really must go over to the Comedy Spot, 3rd level, Ballston Common Mall, to see Shaekspeare's Skum. They do fractured Shakespeare, and they are currently doing "The Comical Tragedy Tour," which consists of "Richard III: Just Misunderstood," "Othello: Having a Bad Day," and "Macbeth: In 20 Minutes or Less." (I was their timer Saturday night and they did it in 18 minutes!)

They are hilarious. You may have seen tehm at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. IF YOU CAN GET OUT TO SEE THEM, YOU REALLY SHOULD DO SO.

SHAKESPEARE'S SKUM : The Comical Tragedy Tour (Othello, Richard III & Macbeth 20 Minutes or Less)

Performance dates and times are

Friday 11/18/05 . 8:00pm Saturday 11/19/05 . 7:30 & 10:00pm

ADMISSION: . . $20.00

We have seen them numerous times at the RenFair and we recommend them highly. They are terrific -- you'll laugh your sides off, which will help you release some weight.

Here are some of their reviews:

". . .absolute genius parodies of the Bard's work. . ." -City Paper "Spedden turns the Bard inside out to great effect.. . Macbeth In 20 Minutes or Less was both hilarious and respectful of the source." - Baltimore Review

". . .a notable gem." - The Capital ". . . a side-slapping success. . . hilarious. . . any knowledge of Shakespeare's work is a bonus, providing the chance to laugh even harder . . ." - Potomac News

Shakespeare's Skum presents wacky versions of the Bard's greatest plays. The shows are fast-paced with lots of physical comedy - but the more you know about Shakespeare the more you'll laugh.
