A theatrical whirlwind of wit, chaos, and creativity is set to take over the Zabeel Theatre as the globally-acclaimed parody, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), returns to Dubai for a limited run from 21 to 24 May.
Performed by a trio of versatile actors, the show condenses all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays into just 97 minutes, blending slapstick, satire, and surprising formats. From rap renditions of Othello to a cooking show-style Titus Andronicus, and even reimagining the Histories as an American football game, this is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before.
This special 2025 edition comes packed with updated jokes, fresh surprises, and modern Shakespearian absurdity that promises to keep both seasoned theatre-goers and casual audiences thoroughly entertained.
Held at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, a venue known for its luxurious ambiance and cultural programming, the production has a strong track record of sold-out shows and critical acclaim. With a mix of high-brow and low-brow humor, this parody offers something for everyone—from literary lovers to comedy fans.
