DRUNK SHAKESPEARE is one of the oldest traditions of live Shakespearean theater... perhaps the OLDEST tradition. Some even say the Bard was drinking at work!

WE, at the Drunk Shakespeare Society, invite you to join us in our lounge for an evening. It is HIGHLY likely of course that you may encounter alcohol. And acting. Sonnets and sauce, the Bard and beer, couplets and cocktails! In fact, we find it is to be ENCOURAGED. Experience the Shakespeare like never before!
