Award-winning comedy show that gives a tipsy, no-holds-barred take on Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'.
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare brings Romeo and Juliet to The Albany Theatre on Saturday 7 November, starting at 7:30pm. It's an unconventional, no-holds-barred take on the play, and the title gives you a fair idea of where it's heading. The cast plays the characters tipsy, with a rat-arsed Romeo, a juiced-up Juliet, a trollied Tybalt and a mashed-up Mercutio, and enough booze on stage to sterilise a brewery floor.
It's billed as a smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, award-winning, multi-sell-out phenomenon, and it runs for one hour and 40 minutes. The production carries a warning that it may feature foul language, nudity, disembowelled limbs and, occasionally, some Shakespeare. It's suitable for ages 15 and over, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger.
