“Drink sir, is a great….ah, I forget”
-Shakespeare (after a few beers, probably)
now drinking IN the chicago loop!
TO BEER, OR NOT TO BEER? IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?
The stage is set in a hidden library speakeasy filled with over 10,000 books. Five professional actors meet as members of The Drunk Shakespeare Society. One of them has 5 shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play.
Hilarity and mayhem ensue while the four sober actors try and keep the script on track. Every show is different depending on who is drinking... and what they're drinking!
Craft cocktails are available for purchase throughout the show.
WE MEET AT THE LION THEATRE
Find us at 182 N Wabash Ave, in the Chicago Loop, for speakeasy vibes, a full cocktail bar, and a whole lot of Shakespeare.
