Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® – Much Ado About Nothing

Royal and Derngate Theatre 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP

“I do love nothing in the world so well as BOOZE- is not that strange?”  Stumbling out of their London local (Leicester Square Theatre) and straight onto a UK wide theatre crawl, hoping to not get BARD along the way, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® go on tour with an all new production of their hit show Much Ado About Nothing. When the sinister bastard Don John and his troupe of bachelor soldiers arrive in Messina, love is in the air as old flames are re-ignited and new desires begin to burn. Maybe some giggle juice will help lubricate the process? Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is the classic combination of a hacked-to-bits Shakespeare script, half a dozen professional actors and a bucket load of booze! Sounds classical to us. Warning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® is an adult show for big sensible grownups and therefore contains rude stuff!
