Booze & the Bard: The Shakespearean Drinking Game

Booze & the Bard: The Shakespearean Drinking Game

Following sell-out seasons of 'Macbeth, the Scotch Play' and 'Twelfth Pint (or What You Spill)', the brilliant minds at Booze & the Bard are back with their theatrical drinking games!

Five actors perform a 75-minute, improvised retelling of one of Shakespeare's classic plays, with a twist - one of their troupe is drunk.

"The show is hilarious, a little bit rude, and has a whole lot of heart. I'm sure it would be just as the Bard intended." ★★★★½ Fringefeed, 2021

19/01 - 04/02 - 'Hamlet: Pints of Denmark'
"Shakespeare’s Hamlet as it should be: dramatic, interactive, and full of drunken chaos." ★★★★½ On The Record, 2023

08/02 - 11/02 - 'Much A-Brew About Nothing'
Our brand-new show! Mistaken identity, boozy banter, and one sadistic spinning wheel come together in Shakespeare's classic comedy.

I'm not too familiar with many Shakespearean plays but I enjoyed Much aBrew About Nothing and the way the cast portrayed (as mentioned at the start) the 23 characters between 5.5 people (and 3 different puppet/lamps). Creative and boozy, would see again.

Fast paced, sassy, totally irreverent, clinging to the bones of the bard’s intentions but within a grog induced haze of grog and a hilarious drinking game. The young actors put on a brilliant show. Lamentably Shakespeare wasn’t like this when I was in high school, but man I’m glad I studied his plays now.

It's very refreshing being on the other side of the madness once more. This show continues to refine and grow itself and I'm humbled to be part of that journey. So decreeth the Three Witch Hamlets!
