Embark on an unmatched experience full of ingenuity and mirth at the 'Drunk Shakespeare' hosted in our very own New York City. An unconventional take on theater, where one of the five actors begins the show by consuming at least five shots of alcohol and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play! Take a step away from traditional theater to engage with a unique blend of improv, classical theatre, and an open bar. Drunk Shakespeare doesn't just entertain, it invites you to partake in the infectious spirit of merriment and shared camaraderie.
Prepare to immerse in a realm of enchantment that lasts for approximately 90 minutes. The stage? A hidden library with over 15,000 real books right in the heart of the theater district. You'll partake in an intimate, out-of-the-box theatrical experience with 50 of your newest friends (the audience is limited to only 50 so every seat is up close and personal). You'll find yourself engrossed in laughter, captivating performance, and fine whisky, undeniably setting your night apart. The play requires no particular attire, just bring along a ready sense of humor and a flair for fun. Be prepared for unexpected twists and turns as you traverse through the labyrinths of Shakespeare's narratives, ably guided and often hilariously misdirected by our tipsy protagonist.
The Drunk Shakespeare Society, a group of professionally trained actors, takes you on this unique journey where the bard’s classic characters come imbued with a boozy twist. Their offbeat take on classic literature has gathered rave reviews and mirthful audiences since their debut in 2014. The performers' ability to elegantly straddle the line between intoxication and performance art is highly appreciated and has earned them quite the fan base among locals and tourists alike.
Much ado about merriment, Drunk Shakespeare is unlike any other theatrical experience you've had. This New York City novelty combines the best of Elizabethan era language, innuendo, and a thoroughly modern, alcoholic twist. You’ll find yourself not just being a member of the audience, but a part of the performance, the hilarity, and the unpredictable momentum it creates. With a dash of inebriation, a splash of merriment, and a full helping of one of the greatest playwrights in history, 'Drunk Shakespeare' serves up an unconventional, unforgettably lively night of theatre. Remember: this isn't just a show, it's a shared experience, it's the vibrant call of the night, and most of all, it's an open invitation for you to join in the revelry.
