Entertaining throughout, with an occasional big laugh, this revival of the Reduced Shakespeare Company's world-famous compressing of the Bard's canon into two farcical hours proves less frantic than the Off-Broadway original. That's a good thing, even though too much time is spent on the three actors setting the scenes and squabbling. Dropping some of this filler in favor of one more long-form piece (a la the Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet sketches) would really kick the evening into high comic gear. The real find here is baby-faced David Turner, who more than once surprises with his stopwatch comic timing and then stops time altogether with a serious rendering of Hamlet's "What a piece of work is man" speech, made doubly poignant by current events.
