“As long as people can breathe or eyes can see, as long as it lives and it gives you life.” Sunset and that’s the end of everything. Shakespeare It gives us lessons, it left us with thoughts and feelings, it made us think and reflect on life, happiness and, of course, love.

A Shakespeare, who screams, who gasps, who tells us about the human condition, as well as about the animal instincts of people. Shakespeare is always unfinished, always new, always open. Three actors of calculated theatricality, Hector Carballo, Diego Molero and Martin Gervasonithey pose a challenge that may force them to antagonize the purists of the Bard of Stratford-upon-Avon, or to ingratiate themselves with those detractors who kept them away through misunderstanding, irritability, excessive melodrama or jealousy.

They propose to make, in their own way, a review of more than thirty works, both comedies, tragedies and dramas, and their main characters. And so, a frantic pace takes over, inventiveness and some improvisation with audience participation permeates the stage, and the minutes fly by: “Are you leaving now? It’s not day yet. “It was the nightingale, and not the lark, that pierced your frightened ear.”

The spirit of Shakespeare flies across the stage. To be or not to be. That’s what’s important, he’s probably laughing, no need to check. This is confirmed by the audience; they laugh, pleasantly surprised by such impudence.

Version by Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield.the founding members of the Abridged Shakespeare Company, and you no longer know whether their desire was to destroy Shakespeare or to praise him so that he might reach those who rejected him.

97 minutes of confusion, growing confidence as you get to know the performers, smiles and laughter on occasion, rousing sequences of wit and topicality with constant calls for the audience’s attention to ensure no one falls asleep. On the other hand, it would be almost impossible, time passes, and suddenly an hour and a half has been swallowed up Hamlet dancing between doubt and revenge, between Elizabethan theater and humor, between Denmark and 11 Prim Street, knowing that One Day is next door.

Theater in prose we could say, that is, (superfluous), eliminating ambiguity and solemnity, a metatheater that mixes with the theater, the reason for existence, and that this will not be the last time we go to the theater, and so that the curiosity of the audience is aroused. Restless the audience and find out who Shakespeare was, who we are, who this company is that keeps us company for 97 minutes. I don’t know if exactly.
