William Shakespeare's Long Lost First Play (Abridged)
Reed Martin


What readers are saying
Readers love the fun and engaging nature of this play, describing it as a humorous take on Shakespeare's works. Many find it particularly useful for teaching, as it helps to consolidate students' understanding of Shakespeare's stories and language.
Discovered in a treasure-filled parking lot in Leicester, England (next to a pile of bones that didn’t look that important), an ancient manuscript proves to be the long-lost first play written by none other than seventeen-year-old William Shakespeare from Stratford.
We are totally not completely making this up.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S LONG LOST FIRST PLAY (abridged) is the literary holy grail: an actual manuscript in Shakespeare’s own hand showing all his most famous characters and familiar speeches in a brand-new story.
But because it’s one hundred hours long and contains multiple unwieldy storylines, it was decided, as a public service, to abridge it down to a brief and palatable ninety-minute performance for this lost masterpiece.
“Something wickedly funny this way comes!”The New York Times “A breathlessly irreverent, pun-filled romp!”The Washington Post “A top-notch comic deconstruction of Shakespeare!” The Stage—U K
