Life is short. The complete works of Shakespeare are long. To the rescue: "The Reduced Shakespeare Company", the three-man comedy troupe known for fast, funny, physical condensations of real serious stuff. They wrap up the Bard's outsized oeuvre in 90 roller-coaster, rib-tickling minutes. After warming up with a nothing-is-sacred send-up of "Romeo and Juliet", they're off, dispensing with the comedies in one fell swoop (because the tragedies are funnier). You decide after you see "Othello" as a rap song, "Titus Andronicus" as a cooking program, and the show's unforgettable finale - "Hamlet" - told with the help of audience members and lascivious sock puppets. Contains material not seen on the PBS broadcast.
"Trade Secrets": Two Commentaries Featuring the Stars and the Director, "Humble Beginnings": Rare Footage of an Early RSC Performance, "Who Are These Clowns?": Cast Bios, "Pop Quiz: Interactive Trivia", "Say Again?": English Subtitles.
