The Story
Hold on for dear life as the literary canon explodes and launches a fast-paced, funny crash course in all those classics you should have read in school but probably didn’t. Confused by Confucius? Thoroughly thrown by Thoreau? Wish Swift was swifter? Then have a little Dickens, a bit of Proust, and a Longfellow that’s shorter. With an inspired mix of verbal dexterity and physical comedy, co-creator Reed Martin directs three gifted actors as they rip and race through nearly 90 famous texts with silliness and sophisticated irreverence.
