Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Thu 24th Oct

This year, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® are pouring their legendary cock-eyed chaos into the Bard-shaped vessel that is A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Think drunken donkeys, fandangled fairies and mullered mechanicals… it’s hard to imagine anything more magical, right?

Each night, a rotating cast member will get genuinely spiffingly splifficated and attempt to perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream as you have never seen before. Making for a different show every night, nobody (not even the cast) knows in which direction the show will stumble. Come and get fuddled in the forest with us! 

13 years ago, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® set out on the world’s longest bar crawl and have been staggering from theatre to theatre ever since. From Edinburgh to Australia, Boston to Southend, this bunch of irreverent drama queens have been shaking up The Bard, performing to sell-out crowds and most importantly, making people roar with laughter ever since. 

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® seek to remind theatregoers that life is brighter when you are being stupid.

"Wherever I looked I saw hands over mouths and bodies bent over, shrieking with laughter."

"This is no-holds-barred ecstasy in Shakespearean guise, and with a different culprit every night you can always come back for more."

"Explosively funny, this is remedy for anyone who ever thought Shakespeare was dull."
