This was my 2nd time at Drunk Shakespeare and I absolutely LOVED IT!! The cast is ssooo talented, personable, and funny. The speakeasy vibe is sexy, the drinks are delicious and whimsically curated. Worth every shilling!!

We had the greatest time! My husband got involved in the show and the actors are so good at improv. I’ll recommend this 100x over.
