Drunk Shakespeare

See it if A theatrical experience that was hilarious and a great time. Talented improvers. Will see again.

Don't see it if You need more of a traditional show. It's Shakespeare but that's not why you see the show.

See it if you want to fall under the influence of a funny, boozy troupe whose comedy cup runneth over with a lot of frat humor & a shot of Shakespeare

Don't see it if you can't gin up the courage to engage & drink in the silly, clever, semi-improvised humor that's reliant more on pop culture than the Bard.

See it if You want to see a classically trained cast have fun with Shakespeare in a frat-boy manner. You enjoy improv.

Don't see it if You want more Shakespeare & less drunk. You don't like audience participation. You want traditional Shakespeare. You want silly, not stupid.

Also I enjoy re-interpretations of classics that don't take them too seriously, so I was excited to see this. What a disappointment! It was very drunk heavy w/a lot of meaningless, confusing & unfunny shenanigans that had nothing to do w/Shakespeare. It didn't help that the "drunk" actor was acting, rather than being drunk, making her antics cringe-y & off-putting. The cast also had a "we're smarter than you" attitude: stopping the Shakespeare numerous times to explain basic knowledge + 1 actor insisting that audience members who said they read Macbeth were lying
The whole thing felt like their rehearsal, & not a finished, professional production.
It's extra disappointing to me, since I've seen several of the cast members in other Shakespeare productions, & they're talented performers! I wish they trusted the audience w/the verse & presented a better balance between the Shakespeare & the drunk.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy having fun with your Shakespeare and don't have to take it seriously. You like to laugh/drink/and, at some points, interact.

Don't see it if You don't like mildly interactive shows or a loosy-goosy feel to your theater, you don't like to watch super talented actors have silly fun.

See it if you desire an interactive, improv fueled, skillful use of classical text, heady cocktail of laughter & mayhem, it is MacB after all...

Don't see it if not interested in drinking, Shakespeare, having fun, participating, topical references, seeing talented actor/improv technicians work magic

See it if I had a GREAT time. You'll especially appreciate this if you know your Shakespeare and pop culture references.

Don't see it if you're under 21 or don't condone alcohol-infused fun.

See it if You want some fun with a dash of Shakespear; better with drinks

Don't see it if You are totally unfamiliar with Shakespear or want it presented in original form

See it if you wanna take a night off from "The Theatah," & just have a ridiculous, silly, casual-Friday-gone-amok kinda experience. 90 minutes of fun!

Don't see it if you have an alcohol addiction. Just, no.

See it if You like Shakespeare and like to laugh. I love Shakespeare and it was hilarious to see the performers performing under the influence. LOL

Don't see it if You don't like to laugh and cannot follow Shakespeare.

See it if you like "improve style" comedy using the Bard as a jumping off point. Many of his soliloquies, and characters, with comic asides, & booze.

Don't see it if you are a bard traditionalist. I've seen better parodies. - And I don't think the drinking added much. Fun concept & the actors worked hard

See it if you want an evening of total silliness & fun w/a group of friends. A little bit of Shakespeare knowledge helps. Can be messy, can be crude.

Don't see it if LOUD risque interactive shows bug you. They DO work their improv/prepared asses off, albeit messy, over-the-top, confusing as hell, but fun!

See it if You're looking for a mix of Reduced Shakespeare Company and high school improv.

Don't see it if You want to spend the time heckling.

See it if A fun improv-y night out/ Will see again.

Don't see it if You don't like improv.

See it if All your friends raved about this. At the very least, you will be entertained.

Don't see it if Don't like Shakespeare at all or you are a Shakespeare purist

See it if you are in fact also drunk--that may be the only way to enjoy this show.

Don't see it if you are expecting a clever way of poking fun at Shakespeare. Even the sober actors act like they are drunk and the result is just a mess.

See it if you're a fan of Shakespeare and want to see a new (and drunk) take on it. Think Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged with alcohol.

Don't see it if you're not a drinker and your knowledge of Shakespeare is lacking.

See it if Like Shakespeare and want to drink with him.

Don't see it if Offended by post-college romp.

See it if You want a fun night out, this is the show. Ever changing, anything goes with actors who are good at Shakespere and doodle at improve.

Don't see it if You expect straight laced Shakespere, or aren't willing to perhaps participate.

See it if you are a fan of Shakespeare and want to see a twist on one of his plays. Currently it is MacBeth. I recommend drinking a few drinks before.

Don't see it if you don't want to see Improv based on MacBeth.

See it if MacBeth x improvised drinking games + alcohol = a fun, unpredictable time. Jokes vary on what you find funny. Beautiful library setting.

Don't see it if Want serious Shakespeare. Improv, alcohol, or extra games annoy you. Jokes lean liberal, so may be considered offensive to some.

Also Ticket from Gold Star for $28.50.

See it if You want a fun night out with friends or a date in an unusual space. Acting is high energy and gags/jokes are clever.

Don't see it if You only take your Shakespeare straight or you dislike a bit of "bro" atmosphere.

See it if You are interested in getting drunk, while bored.

Don't see it if You are expecting to be entertained.

See it if you and your friends want to spend a hilariously boozy evening getting the gist of a Shakespeare play.

Don't see it if a boozy atmosphere is not your idea of fun.

See it if You are going out with a group and are up for an interactive experience. It's fun, it's drunk, but it's still Shakespeare in old english...

Don't see it if The thought of being called on horrifies you or you cannot tolerate Shakespeare content.

See it if you like alcohol, improv, and reinvented Shakespeare (I feel like I learned a lot!)

Don't see it if you prefer your Shakespeare more straitlaced and traditional
