DO YOU ever feel that you really should catch up on some good books so that you can hold your own in dinner party conversations but don't have the time or, frankly, can't be bothered to do all that reading?
Then let The Reduced Shakespeare Company come to your rescue with their hilarious new show, All The Great Books (abridged!).
The show is a condensed version of the greatest works of literature, so in just an hour and a half of mayhem the RSC could save you a lifetime of reading.
All The Great Books (abridged!) charges through everything from Chaucer to Archer, via Dickens and Austen.
It will rifle through your bookshelves and ask all the important questions like why was Oliver so much better at the twist than jive and who was afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Sit back and enjoy the ride as London's longest-running comedy troupe take the strain out of intellectual betterment and guide you through all those books you meant to, but never quite got around to reading.
Never has the old adage 'less is more' seemed more appropriate.
Tuesday to Thursday, January 15. Performances: 7.30pm. Tickets: from £12. Box office: 01962 840440.
Theatre Royal, Winchester
