Sh!t-faced Shakespeare®: A Midsummer Night's Dream

The five-star, multi sell-out, Fringe phenomenon is back! With its hilarious combination of an entirely serious adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream 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 most mischievous plays.
Featuring 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.
