Booze & The Bard: The Shakespearean Drinking Game

The brilliant minds behind 'A Midsummer Night's Drink' and 'Macbeth, the Scotch Play', are back with their theatrical drinking games!

5 actors perform a 1 hour, improvised retelling of one of Shakespeare's plays, with a twist - 1 of their troupe is drunk. 

★★★★½"Hilarious, a little bit rude, and has a whole lot of heart. I’m sure it would be just as the Bard intended." Fringefeed
★★★★½"A continually funny experience." The AU Review
8/10 "A well-oiled group of improvisers" X-Press Magazine

18/2 - 19/2: 'Twelfth Pint (Or What You Spill)'
Returning after sell-out shows comes this roiling romp of confused lovers and identical twins

25/2 - 26/2: 'Hamlet, Pints of Denmark'
Our new show! Each night our cast, alongside one sadistic spinning wheel, will bring you a new spin on the this tragic tale.
