What happens when one classically trained Shakespearean actor gets absolutely wrecked while the rest try to keep the show on track? Pure, unfiltered mayhem.

This rowdy, joyous production is a whirlwind of improv, audience participation, and slapstick brilliance, where the line between high art and drunken debauchery is gleefully obliterated. One moment, you’re admiring a faithful reimagining of the Bard’s work; the next, you’re watching a sloshed Demetrius attempt a monologue while hiccupping through prosecco-fueled giggles.

With dedicated performers navigating the chaos with comedic precision, Shit-Faced Shakespeare feels like Shakespeare’s Globe met a uni pub crawl and decided to put on a show. Unpretentious, refreshingly unpredictable, and downright hilarious, this is the most fun you’ll ever have watching the Bard go off the rails.
