"This was so funny! I have the DVD of the Complete Works of Shakespeare, so when I saw this at Borders, I had to purchase it. I love the hilarious interpretations, the tongue-in-cheek humor, and the jokes that you have to know about to understand, like:
"...which most scholars agrue is the definitive point of Genisis [the book], because they still had Peter Gabriel."
This is a must-have for anybody with even the slightest sense of humor and self!"

Hilarious and Irreverent

"This is not the Bible as most people remember it, and it is not for those who take the Bible seriously (though the RSC do advise that you literally take the Bible from your hotel room, that's what it's there for). Full of modern satire, witty repartee, and the type of quotes that you can annoy your friends with, it is a must for everyone who enjoys true, intellectual comedy. It is both satire and slapstick, with inside jokes for those familiar with the work of the RSC, jokes at the expense of all religions, jokes at their own expense, and great musical numbers. I thoroughly recommend it, I force all my friends to listen to it. As they say on the CD "If you didn't like it, tell your clergyman; if you liked it, tell both your friends." I've already told both my friends, so here is my review.



One last thing, here is a litmus test to see if you should listen to this recording. In the section on the miracles of Jesus, the bit goes like this: "He taught Christian fundamendalists to be tolerant! Hey, that would be a miracle!" If you found that funny, this is a CD you'll thoroughly enjoy."

Amazing!!!!

"These guys are amazing!!! The Reduced Shakespeare company is like an embassy of good production plus entertainment plus culture improvement.

Particularly in this Cd, which was taken from a play, we can sense how these guys have creativity "riding" on their veins.

If you purchase this cd please keep your atention at Tower of Babel, The World's Oldest Crucifixion Joke and Jesus is ressurected. I'll say no more and leave you with your curiosity... ehehhehhehe!!!!



Cheers!!!!"
