THEY have skewered history, the Bible and the world’s most celebrated playwright, now the Reduced Shakespeare Company tackles the subject it was born to reduce.

Following a hugely successful, critically acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014 the Reduced Shakespeare Company is bringing The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) to Yeovil.

From the highbrow to the low and everything inbetween, the bad boys of abridgment leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

Described as “comic gold” by The Metro, the trio head to the Octagon Theatre on Wednesday, February 25, at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £16, £14.50 concessions and £13 for footlights and groups of tenplus.
