Waiting ListSh!t-faced Shakespeare® have toured the world, broken America, established themselves on London’s West End, won numerous awards, and survived a zero-star review in The Times. In 2025, they will be celebrating 15 years on the wagon with one of the Bard’s most popular tragedies: Hamlet.
Featuring a cast of professional Shakespearean actors, this unique production takes an unpredictable twist each night as one performer is chosen to be deliberately intoxicated for up to four hours before showtime. The rest of the cast must then navigate the play, improvising their way through the unpredictable chaos that springs from their inebriated colleague's booze-fuelled antics.
Filled to the brim with foul language, outrageous behaviour and sporadic urination, Shakespeare's tales have often pushed the boundaries of moral decency. Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® aims to raise a glass and smash those boundaries to pieces.
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare®️ are excited to once again drunkenly stomp all over the greatest dramatic work ever committed to page in the English language: the story of a privileged whiny lad who goes a bit bonkers and does some stabbings.
"How the hell did they make it to 15 years?!" we hear you cry. Book now and find out
BSL Interpreted Performance - Wednesday 3rd September 7pm. There will be a trained British Signed Language (BSL) interpreter, standing to one side of the stage, interpreting the script (and chaos) at the same time as it is being performed.
"Go because you enjoy Shakespeare, go because you love intoxicated revelry, or go for the magical meeting of the two. "
