Reduced Shakespeare: The Bible (Abridged)

Those fleet-footed denizens of deconstruction and reduction are at it again, as they distill the complete word of God down into easy-to-swallow segments. See the RSC put the fun back into fundamentalism this fall in Chicago and San Francisco! Don't worry... we believe God has a sense of humor himself. Why else would he lead the Children of Israel throughout the desert for 40 years, and then have them stop in the one place without any oil?

And on the 9th day, God said, "Let there be clowns and comediansw who lampoon my work." And there was the Reduced Shakespeare Company, and God saw that it was good. He then sat back, acquired a bag of chips for himself, and enjoyed the show. HAHAHAHAHAHA (God Laugh)

I hope they bring out a dvd of this one. They did an audio recording but I think their interactions with the audiance would make it even funnier

@bitmasala In what way is this making fun of God? If anything, this is spreading the word of God to more people in a way more suitable to a modern audience. I'm going to take a guess and say you haven't read the Bible from beginning to end. The reason behind this is because, lets face it, it's boring. Very boring. This tells the message of the Bible in a way that is easier to enjoy. Let alone comprehend.

not funny...don't like making fun of GOD....
