Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before! - Drunk Shakespeare is all what the title would imply…and a lot more. An evening, full of nonstop laughs, filled with gag jokes, pop cultural references, nonstop, profanities, and some Shakespeare. The setting is intimate, and the drinks are served to you at your seat. The cast is amazingly talented. There is some audience interaction, none of which is uncomfortable. Highly recommended.

Unexpected - Let me start by saying that I am probably not the target audience being a 60 year old British bloke who had just had a ropey and expensive dinner. Booked by my three mid twenties daughters I expected the worst. Straight to the point, it’s fun. A lot of US and cultural references that went straight over my head but it really didn’t matter. The cast were talented, engaging and played well off each other. Short with no interval it hit its mark well and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lot of swearing and rude bits but who cares.

Read my review! - Best thing I’ve seen in ages. Belly laughs, totally entertaining, amazing actors, quirky venue too!! Think I might have covered it all. If you’re easily offended, sensitive or you don’t like a great night out, this is NOT the production for you. Go buy the tickets people, treat yourself!

They delivered as promised - This show is EXACTLY what it says it is. Highly talented actors performing with (?and around) an inebriated highly talented colleague. The performance was surprisingly clever. It is definitely spicy and very funny. The audience participation was mostly voluntary. The library-theater-stage is cozy. The actors are very friendly and welcoming. It’s a great way to spend a couple of hours AND you will talk about it for weeks!!!

Audience participation - Fun, goofy night. The actors are excellent. Small venue so you’re up close and personal with the action, and there is audience participation.

Not for me - The actors are very talented, but the material is sophomoric. If you’re looking for slapstick bawdy humor, it might be for you. If you’re looking for wit, this isn’t it.
