Speed is the principle pleasure of The Compleat Works of Wllm. Shkspre. (Abridged), showing through August 8th at the Hasty Pudding Theatre. From the beginning, the play's trio of actors (Erik Amblad, Will Burke and Adam"Waka" Green) plainly state their mission--to present all of Shakespeare's plays--and take off like horses from a starting gate. They begin with a comparably lengthy rendition of Romeo and Juliet, continue with truncated versions of the Tragedies, and, with time running short, condense the Comedies into a skit in double time, and further distill the Histories into a few symbolic...

Then there is blame, regret and denial about his family. "I killed Leigh Ann because she was one of the main reasons for my demise ... She really couldn't help it, and I love her so much anyway." She was bludgeoned to death, her body hidden from the children in a closet. Mychelle ("my sweetheart") and Matthew ("my buddy"), he insisted, died "with little pain." He bashed their heads with...
...present we see on the Hudson is a combination of the chastised, though often still abusive polluters and healthy signs of a waterway revived. Yet it is the past that most concerns Cronin and Kennedy--the past polluters, and the more distant past, in which they hope to see the future. The river is where they have found their home, and it has all the beauty and mystery of home...
