About the show

The five-star, multi-sell-out, Fringe phenomenon is back! With its hilarious combination of an entirely serious adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet and an absolutely sh!t-faced actor! It just wouldn't be the Fringe without it. With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same in this raucous, riotous rampage through one of Shakespeare's darkest plays. This show features a rotating cast of the finest classically trained actors, partial nudity, foul language, acts of a sexual nature and actual Shakespeare. Please remember to always

EnjoyShakespeareResponsibly.

Featuring - Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare

Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare appearing at this event

Sh*t-faced Shakespeare® is the deeply highbrow fusion of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely sh*t-faced cast member. Outrageous raucous and completely unpredictable, the show has been running since 2010 and has already entertained over 200,000 eager theatre goers across the UK and US.

Having successfully completed multiple sell-out runs of the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals, the Magnificent Bastards made their way stateside in 2015 to Boston and have been enjoying a smashingly successful run since. In addition to Boston, Austin, Atlanta, and Minneapolis, all have a crop of Bastards on hand to delight you each weekend.

Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare® seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.
