Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare: Macbeth Tickets

Get together for a round of drinks and brush up on your iambic pentameter: Shit-Faced Shakespeare is back at the Leicester Square Theatre, offering a hilariously sozzled version of Macbeth.

The story of the murderous Macbeths is the stuff of legends: an ambitious husband and wife, a trio of weird sisters, a startling prophecy… and a blood stain that just won’t wash out. So far, so Shakespeare. But what happens when you add a drunk actor to the mix?

Shit-Faced Shakespeare have become acclaimed worldwide thanks to their on-the-nose (and on the booze) approach to the playwright’s greatest hits. At each performance, one professionally trained actor is chosen to get drunk before curtains up, and their sober co-stars must prepare for whatever’s thrown at them – foul or fair!

Having previously drunk themselves under the table with Hamlet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, this delightfully derailed show is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen him before.

Tipsy witches and legless ghosts… this definitely isn’t the dusty play you studied at school. Raise a glass to Shit-Faced Shakespeare: Macbeth when it barrels into the Leicester Square Theatre on 16 June 2021.
