Reduced Shakespeare Company
b'Discovered in a treasure-filled parking lot in Leicester, England, an ancient manuscript proves to be the long-lost first play by none other than the young William Shakespeare from Stratford. That\\u2019s the premise of the latest work from the Reduced Shakespeare Company, \\u201cWilliam Shakespeare\\u2019s Long Lost First Play (Abridged),\\u201d which premieres at Folger Theatre in April 2016. \\n\\nThe comedy troupe\\u2019s current directors are also its longest-serving performers, Austin Tichenor and Reed Martin. Barbara Bogaev interviews them about this new play and how it\\u2019s radically different from every other show they\\u2019ve written up to now. \\n\\nFrom the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. \\xa9 April 5, 2016.
