The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, award-winning, multi sell-out fringe phenomenon is coming to Philly with their entirely serious production of Much Ado About Nothing with an entirely shit-faced cast member. When the sinister Don John and his troupe of bachelor soldiers arrive in Messina, Sicily love is in the air as old flames, Beatrice and Benedick, are re-ignited and new desires begin to burn. Maybe some hard liquor will help lubricate the process? Featuring Shakespeare's most reluctant pair of lovers, villainous bastards, mistaken identities, faked deaths, sword fights, masque balls, and lots of lovely, lovely booze.
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® has delighted audiences from Boston to Austin and all over the States with their highfalutin cocktail of traditional Elizabethan theater and balls-to-the-wall drunken shenanigans. Featuring a rotating cast of the finest classically trained actors, the choicest cuts of Shakespearean classics, and more inebrediated antics than you can violently shake a thespian at, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is the unique theatrical experience that has left audiences roaring in the aisles the world over.
With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same…
Warning: Our show does engage flashing lights and loud noises. Also, for those choosing to sit close to the stage - there is the possibility of splashing beer and being a part of the show.
Content Curious?
Our show features murder, treason, war, violence (personal, sexual, and national), suicide, regicide, incest, and blasphemy - and that is just the Shakespeare! Our drinker has been known to contribute profanity, and the occasionally bare butt-cheek. If any of this puts you off, maybe another show is more your speed.
