I went to see this show with Andrea, Maz and Daniel – normally the “three musketeers” of our bridge four.
Not sure whose idea it was to see this show…but I’ll guess that Maz was the ringleader for the trip.
I don’t remember much about it, but the diary says we met at 6:30 so I guess we had a drink before the show and a quick meal afterwards. I’m guessing The Mayflower Chinese, as I have a hint of a memory of dining with those three at that place, but I could be wrong.
Andrea or Maz might remember. Even Daniel might. I’d love to learn of any lingering memories from that evening.
My log simply says “fun”, which I recall it was. A rather silly show, of course, but that’s the idea of it.
Three days later, I met Janie. But that’s another story completely (unabridged).
The Reduced Shakespeare Company has its own website still, would you believe – here is the link.
There is also a Wikipedia entry for this great work – click here.
There is even a YouTube recording of the show – see below:

I can’t find formal reviews of this production but here is an interesting interview with the Reduced Shakeseare lot:
