The Reduced Shakespeare Company in The Complete World of Sports (Abridged) comes to the Pavilion Theatre in Rhyl on Friday, July 6.

From competitive cavemen to the Elizabethans and the modern sports media, The Complete World of Sports (Abridged) reflects all the emotion, drama and hilarity of the sporting world.

Find out whether darts really a sport, what NASCAR stands for, why Americans call a contest in which only they compete the World Series, and discover which is the more boring – baseball or cricket?

Formed in 1981, the Reduced Shakespeare Company is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies.

The Rhyl show is part of a UK tour, after which the RSC will play a season at the Arts Theatre in London.

Show time is 7.30pm. Tickets are £14.50 and £13. To book, call the Pavilion Theatre box office on 01745 330 000 or book online at www.rhylpavilion.co.uk.
