Shakespeare's King John: The Brawling Bard Abridged Version​
by ​Brawling Bard Theater

Rating: PG (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Genre: Theatre - World Premiere
Did you know that Shakespeare wrote a play called “King John”? Neither did we! But this play has everything. Not one, but two major battles. (Or three, depending on how you count.) Royal intrigue. Family quarrels. A prince in peril. A murder that actually turns out not to be a murder that turns out to actually be a murder. An assassination that really is an assassination. And in the midst of all this, the character that Shakespeare calls simply The Bastard. Sound confusing? Don't worry Brawling Bard has adapted, abridged, condensed, even re-written (just a little. Maybe a lot) to shape this into the comic masterpiece that Shakespeare always intended.

About the Performers:
Brawling Bard Theater has performed at the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival five times, staging original shows based on Shakespeare's works, incorporating physical comedy and exciting fight action in each. Previous shows have won the Audience Choice award, the Spirit of the Fringe award, the Best Ensemble award, and honorable mention for Best Show.
