We saw the Reduced Shakespeare Company's History of America this past May. Felt a bit silly being an American going to see a show about the History of America. The players are mostly Americans or Canadians and the show was hilarious. We had a wonderful time, some bits made us laugh so hard we cried. I would recommend it.

Stones in his Pocket is wonderful and The Complete History of America (Abridged) is great fun. <BR><BR>The Reduced Shakespeare Co does it one evening and one matinee a week. The rest of their performances are The Complete Works of Shakespears (Abridged) -- which is even funnier. Neither "Complete . . " is great theatre - more high farce with a lot of audience participation.<BR><BR>If you only have time for a couple of plays I'd probably choose something more substantial - but they are both very funny.

We saw the Complete Shakespeare. It was hysterical. The place was packed & everyone seemed to ejoy it. I would imagine their History of America is good too. It reminded me of the type of entertainment I have seen at the excellent Texas Renaissance Fest.They are really zany. My 2 kids & the adults all found something to laugh about with them. I wish I had whatever gives them their energy.<BR>We got our tickets at the Tkts booth in Leicester Square. I do remember they are off 1 day of the week & only do the History on certain days. You might want to check. We got good seats. Also check the free London Planner brochure. It had an ad for them in it. There was a special rate of 2 for 1 tickets via the box office. Might be cheaper that way.
