Barack Obama? John McCain? Ann Coulter? Who will be our next President? In this Election Year Special Edition of
The Complete History of America (abridged), the Reduced Shakespeare Company will provide you with the historical context that is guaranteed to confuse any American voter. Just in time for the 2008 Presidential Elections, the RSC returns with 600 Years of History in 6000 seconds! The "bad boys of abridgment" go from George Washington to George W. Bush, from the Bering Straits to Baghdad, from New World to New World Order. It's a 90 minute rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American History.
And in this Special Election Edition, the presidential frontrunners (and who knows, maybe the President himself!) may just put in an appearance to answer any and all audience questions: Who really discovered America? How old was John McCain at the beginning of the Civil War? How many Democrats does it take to screw in a light-bulb?
History is normally written by the winners...now it's the RSC's turn.
Tickets: $38 adults, $36 seniors, $19 children, $30 UR employees, $8 UR students
