Abridg'd too Far

Fast, furious, funny and frequently infuriating to lovers of literature, Abridg'd…Too Far! presents literature’s most renowned and best-loved books in just 22-minutes and 17-seconds. Leaving a hell of a lot out, making stark narrative choices and chucking in a fair number of jokes, it’s a breakneck comic canter through the classics which has taken the podcast world by storm.

Following a sold-out London show, world-renowned and very clever Professor of Short Books, Douglas Ullard, is taking his 22-minute and 17-second Classic Literature Armchair Theatre Company (T-TMASSCLATC) out on tour around the country. Each night the Professor, four actors and an incredibly over-worked live sound effect artist, bring three of world literature’s most celebrated books (picked at random) to life, live on stage in a hysterical show that presents the audience with three heavyweight classics…that now they will never have to spend hours reading.
