The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

However, improvisation plays an important role and it is normal for the actors to deviate from the script and have spontaneous conversations about the material with each other or the audience.

It is also common for them to make references to pop culture or to talk about local people and places in the area where the play is being performed.

They presented an expanded version including Shakespeare's other plays at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987,[2] and later at the Criterion Theatre in London, where it ran for nine years.

At the end of the act, the characters realise that they forgot to perform Coriolanus which Adam refuses due to the vulgarity of the title, and also Hamlet, Shakespeare's epitome.

Adam becomes nervous and petulant about performing the famous and difficult play, so he runs around the theatre and out the door chased by Jess.

After the intermission, Jess and Adam return, saving Daniel from having to cover the sonnets by writing them down on a 3x5 card and passing it around the audience.
