The articles needs verification as well as some editing for tone. It reads like an ad in parts (e.g. "Winning over audiences in Edinburgh, however, would be quite a different matter. Squeezed into a church basement at 10:30 a.m., the show played to delighted audiences, and after three days, all tickets to the three-week run were snapped up when the overwhelmingly positive reviews hit the street.").

I'm going to delete the line about George Lucas and a reduced Star Wars show. Not only is it uncited and unverified, I spoke with Austin Tichenor and he said it's not true. If there are no objections by the time I finish typing this, I'm going to go ahead and delete the line.192.158.61.172 (talk) 14:17, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if the line is literally true (about George Lucas giving permission) but the Star Wars show did get made and was broadcast on Sky TV in the UK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zv1HADbII 86.188.176.218 (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Long did that project in 2006, after leaving the Reduced Shakespeare Company in 2003. So it isn't really a product of RSC. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:42, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
