Drunk Shakespeare
$39 - $79
Drunk Shakespeare is a New York Times’ Critics’ Pick and “the best thing to ever happen to the theater” according to Slate Magazine. It begins with one actor drinking five shots of liquor before attempting to lead the cast through a Shakespeare play in under 90 minutes.
The Drunk Shakespeare Society has been meeting, drinking and performing Shakespeare for over a thousand nights … and over a thousand liters of liquor. This talented troupe of rotating members loves sharing the epic poetry of William Shakespeare, but you don’t need to know a lick of it to enjoy yourself. Pop culture references, improvisation, audience games, a wealth of surprises and liberal departures from the text (with outrageous consequences) make this accessible for anyone who likes a good time. Every night is different and truly anything can happen.
Only ages 21 and over are admitted.
