A Rehearsed Reading. Travesties, or spoofs, of Shakespeare were a hugely popular part of the comic repertoire of 19th-century theatre, a tradition now taken up by the likes of the Reduced Shakespeare Company. John Poole was the pioneer of the form and this is the first of its kind. If you know anything at all about Hamlet, you’ll love this send-up of Shakespeare’s verse and Shakespeare productions - complete with comedy footnotes!
