Fun experience - The show is very fun and the actors are very engaging with the audience. The theater is very small which is the perfect setting for the show. The theater is actually around the corner from the address provided.

5 Star Debauchery - Absolutely hilarious and a unique twist on classic Shakespeare! Drunk Shakespeare brilliantly combines live theater with a lively drinking game, resulting in an unforgettable night filled with laughter and unexpected surprises. The talented cast delivers an engaging performance, making even the most dramatic scenes entertaining. A must-see for both Shakespeare enthusiasts and casual theatergoers alike.

Get the cheap seats. Stage side not worth it. - Honestly, I was a bit shocked at the small size of the theater room, because the pricing levels suggested something much bigger. The app said only the stage side tickets were available, for $40 more per ticket, but there are only two rows in the entire theater, so not worth it.

Not for us, but you might really enjoy it - This is not for everyone. If you like the name of this show, you have passed the first filter. A strong familiarity with the bard's plays and a strong appreciation for sophomoric humor based on swearing, sex jokes, and booze are necessary. While we are not prudes, the show struck me as something I would've enjoyed more in my twenties. However, there were adults of all ages (21+) who were clearly enjoying it. Speaking of 21+, bringing some form of an ID is a must. While we were there, they almost refused entry to a middle-aged couple until they found photos of their IDs on a phone. We were disappointed to discover that the show takes place in a very small space with no period costumes or stage decor. Also, be prepared for the actual Shakespearean text to be interrupted often with bawdy humor, drinking, and impersonations. I wanted to like it but had mixed feelings. My husband found it difficult to follow, so we ended up leaving early. There was one man in the audience who was scrolling on his phone. But most of the spectators were laughing and having a good time.

So not appropriate - If you love, Shakespeare, do not go to this performance. It’s impossible to know what’s going on half the time. the use of dildos throughout the performance was inappropriate. I found it childish and distasteful
