Sh!t-faced Shakespeare®: Romeo and Juliet

Really, really funny and everything was safe. They make sure everyone's happy and comfortable, and it just makes it so much fun. Would recommend!

I thought GCSE English Literature ruined Shakespeare for me but this show made Romeo and Juliet fun and interesting again. The improvisation around the drunk person was a nice surprise, though I was a little worried for their safety at points.

Never has Shakespeare been so much fun! Tears of laughter as the cast attempt to handle a cast mate who has been drinking for the previous four hours - definitely worth seeing! 5/5

I'm glad I saw this well into my fringe visit, because it has set a very high bar for humor. I was in tears. Clear excellent grasp of the source material, witty improv against the drunken actor's antics, properly hysterical. Very highly recommend.

was expecting an evening of lame 6th former self appreciation. "We were sooo drunk!" Couldn't have been more wrong. Genuinely hilarious, clever, and entertaining. The drunk actor's unpredictable improvisations were very funny, but the way the rest of the cast bounced off them was thing that made this performance so incredibly good.

Read about the premise of the show and loved it, went to see the show and loved it

The chaos that was the drunk actor doing their own thing and the mediator trying to keep them in line led to perfectly-timed improvised hilarity that left me unable to breathe.

Definitely worth seeing with friends and a drink in hand to join along to (but not too much...)!

We went prepared for silliness but of a witty and clever sort- we were disappointed. You have to be shit-faced yourself to raise more than the briefest of guffaws at the slap-stick, predictable, very un-Shakespearean, banal rubbish that this show contains. A great idea, poorly executed.

Well. Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before. Great atmosphere in this late night show. Lots of laughter to end another great day at the Fringe

Amazingly funny! All of the actors' ability to engage in the ultimately necessary improv was impressive! I HIGHLY recommend this show!

TBH it didn't turn out to be my cup of tea as I'm not a fan of slapstick. That said it was well delivered & the wider audience loved it..... & I had a giggle too!

An incredible show! From entering the hall to sit down right until the final curtain it was great vibes and laughs all around! Absolutely recommend this show to anyone over 16

I had been primed for an hour of hilarity and heard lots of fantastic things, but felt like the show was just parodying Shakespeare for 1 hour - all well and fun but it would have been more fun to see the cast battle 1 inebriated performer rather than the whole cast "ad-libbing", joke cracking and corpsing even when the supposedly drunk actor was off stage. Having seen it once, I can't attest to what is or isn't scripted as obviously I'm not in it, but the chaperone trying to sound the horn when they need to stop the drunk person should not be slower than the tech plunging the stage into darkness - everyone should be brushing up on their 'cues' if that's the case and not making the scripted drunkenness quite so obvious. Not to mention the sightlines from sitting at the side where the chaperone is supposed to be escorting the drunk performer and they split off into different directions...congrats to the company for making the show such a success and from taking the show to the heights that it's at, and maybe I'm trying to take it too seriously, but when advertising drunken chaos and carnage, and being delivered what felt like a scripted adult panto instead, it was a big disappointment

A great late night show. Completely irreverent take on Romeo and Juliet. Great balance of classical acting and bawdy comedy.

Bloody brilliant! A must see!

Brilliant! A must see entertaining show. With one of the actors primed with far too much to drink, the affect on their performance was just hilarious. The other actors and compère keep things on track, (sort of), but allow for inevitable and amusing deviation! Loved it!
