What to expect at Drunk Shakespeare

90 minutes of live theatre, genuine Shakespeare, genuine drinks, and a night out unlike anything else in Washington D.C. This isn’t a comedy show that borrows from Shakespeare. This is Shakespeare, performed by professionals, at least one of whom is genuinely drunk.

Very fun, intimate in more ways than one, exceptionally talented cast. One note that came to mind on the script: there was a line of “god be thanked” and i couldnt help but think it was an opportunity to say “blessed be the fruit” (ref to Housemaids Tale), given the affinity for integrating copious pop culture references. The cocktails could maybe be stronger but i assume they are trying not to let people get sloppy drunk. I loved the improvisations like when the actress couldn’t find her vampire tooth tonight and there were other things that the cast did to make each other break which was super fun. Five stars for drunk Dracula! I wish I had taken photos but I felt like it was going to be rude even though we were told we were allowed to, but that’s a me issue.
