Drunk Shakespeare Chicago is a unique and entertaining theatrical experience where professional actors gather to perform a Shakespearean play with a twist. One actor, after consuming five shots of whiskey, attempts to portray a major role, leading to hilarity and mayhem as the sober actors try to keep the show on track. The experience is different every time, depending on who is drinking and what they're drinking. Craft cocktails are available for purchase throughout the performance. Reviewers describe the show as "the most obscenely hilarious," "absolutely loved," and "hilarious and raucous," with the actors being "excellent at improv" and "personable." Overall, Drunk Shakespeare Chicago offers a highly interactive and unforgettable night of Shakespearean hijinks.
Even better than anticipated, it was a great way to spend part of an evening!!

What a fun night. Funny, engaging, so entertaining. Join the troupe at the Lion Theatre for Drunk Shakespeare. One actor takes five shots (or more as the night progresses) and then it's off to Shakespearean times, with a modern twist.

My daughter and I loved the show. It was engaging and funny. The cast were incredibly talented and hilarious the entire time. We will definitely be back for another show soon.
