Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festivals three-person comedy "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again]" is inspired lunacy that pays tongue-in-cheek homage to all 37 of Shakespeares plays.
The chaotic craziness is presented outdoors on a new stage in front of the Trexler Library at DeSales University in Center Valley. through July 16.
The cast features the talented trio of Sean Close, Eli Lynn, and Sabrina Lynne Sawyer.
Close opens the show as a sort of emcee, before the three performers launch into a zany rendition of "Romeo and Juliet" that involves video game characters Mario and Bowser, water balloons, pool noodles and other inspired wackiness. 
Shakespeares seldom-seen "Titus Andronicus" with its bloody theme of baking ones enemies into pie, is restyled as a hilarious Julia Child-style cooking show with lots of strawberry syrup as Lynns cook slices Closes throat.
Close manages to misunderstand the meaning of the word "moor" in a goofy nod to "Othello" and the three cleverly mash-up all 16 of the Bards comedies in a breakneck segment complete with props that poke fun at Shakespeares tendency to have twins masquerading as the opposite sex, with lots of mistaken identity.
A crazy "Macbeth" is delivered in thick brogues and makeshift kilts as befits "the Scottish play," while Shakespeares 11 history plays become a football game with the three performers portraying all the kings fighting for the crown.
For "Hamlet," the melancholy Dane is played with measured import by Lynn, with Lynne Sawyer playing a histrionic Ophelia, as well as both Hamlets uncle and mother with comical results. Close gamely fills in on pretty much every other character. There is audience participation and the show ends with Lynn, Close and Lynne Sawyer doing "Hamlet" again at high speed and then backwards. Its all quite silly and very funny.
Director Matt Pfeiffer manages to hold it all together, despite the perceived pandemonium.
The set by Joshua Rose is very adaptable and works well, with surprise openings that add to the fun.
