About Drunk Shakespeare

Boozy Bard Brouhaha: Drunk Shakespeare Brings Spirited Spin to Classic Tales!

The Unique Pitch: A 90-Minute Shakespearean Soiree with a Twist

“Drunk Shakespeare” is a daring and unconventional theatrical experience. It blends comedy and drama in an intoxicating 90-minute spectacle. This innovative performance, strictly for the 21+ crowd, brings an electrifying twist to the theater world.

A Spirited Performance: One Drunk Actor, Four Sober Counterparts

At the heart of “Drunk Shakespeare” lies a captivating premise: five actors tackle a secret, universally recognized Shakespearean play. But here’s the catch – while four thespians remain sober, one audaciously consumes several shots of whiskey live on stage. This intoxicating blend of sobriety and intoxication promises a unique rendition of the Bard’s work, compressed into a brisk, engaging format.

Origin Story: From Off-Broadway to a Nationwide Phenomenon

Conceived by Scott Griffin and David Hudson, “Drunk Shakespeare” first graced the stage at Quinn’s Bar and Grill in 2014. The show, inspired by Comedy Central’s hit series “Drunk History,” has transcended its Off-Broadway roots, captivating audiences with over 2,000 performances.

A Balanced Revelry: Fun but Firm

While “Drunk Shakespeare” revels in its fun, silly, and boozy nature, it strictly prohibits excessive intoxication or disruptive behavior, ensuring a pleasurable experience for all. This policy underscores the show’s commitment to responsible revelry.

What to Watch For A Hidden Gem and Ever-Changing Performances

The Lion Theatre, a hidden gem near the historic Chicago Theater, houses this unique spectacle. Visitors traverse a library boasting over 10,000 books before entering the bar area. The show’s spontaneous nature guarantees a distinct experience with each performance, making repeat visits enticing.

A Royal Treatment: Be the King or Queen for a Night

For an extra fee, attendees can immerse themselves in the regality of being the King or Queen for the evening. This royal package includes throne seating, control over the play’s proceedings, and luxurious perks like champagne.

Expanding Horizons: The Drunk Shakespeare Society

Drunk Shakespeare” has expanded its realm, with venues in New York City, Houston, D.C., and Phoenix. Each location boasts its unique cast, offering diverse interpretations across the “Drunk Shakespeare Society.”

Critical Acclaim: A Theatrical Sensation

The show has garnered rave reviews, described as “Zany, Rowdy and Debaucherous” by the NY Times, “A live-action Drunk History” by TimeOut Magazine, and hailed as “The Best Thing to Ever Happen to The Theater” by Slate Magazine.
