What is Drunk Shakespeare?
At every performance of Drunk Shakespeare, five actors within the The Drunk Shakespeare Society put on one of the famous playwright's works; it changes each night. But this isn't like the Shakespeare you'll see at Shakespeare in the Park or at the Globe. Pre-show, one of the actors takes five shots of whiskey (joined for the first one by an audience member, to prove the liquor's real) and must proceed to play their part. It's up to the other four actors to keep the show going while also following whatever unexpected choices the fifth actor drunkenly makes.
