Unleashing Shakespeare with a Twist: Drunk Shakespeare at Sage Theatre

For those who regard Shakespeare as the pinnacle of classical theater, prepare for a twist that will leave you reeling. Drunk Shakespeare is taking the stage at Sage Theatre in Washington, DC, on Sunday, July 28, 2024, at 5:00 PM, promising an evening of hilarity, improvisation, and yes, inebriation. Drunk Shakespeare has been delighting audiences at Sage Theatre and will continue its run until August 4, 2024.

The Sage Theatre, nestled at 1100 13th Street NW, offers a unique venue that perfectly complements the unconventional nature of Drunk Shakespeare. Guests will enter through a secret door, stepping into a glamorous cocktail bar and library that serve as the prelude to the main event. This isn't just any Shakespeare performance; it’s an immersive experience that blends the sophistication of the Bard’s work with the raucous energy of a night out.

Drunk Shakespeare features a troupe of actors who perform a Shakespearean play with a unique twist: one of the performers drinks heavily before and during the show. The result is an unpredictable and uproarious performance that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Expect strong language, sexual humor, and a high level of audience interaction. This show is strictly for those 21 and older, and photo IDs are required for entry.

The performance on July 28 will run for 90 minutes, offering a whirlwind of comedy and chaos as the actors navigate through Shakespearean dialogue while under the influence. Whether you’re a Shakespeare aficionado or someone looking for a good laugh, Drunk Shakespeare promises to deliver an evening you won’t forget.

Drunk Shakespeare is not just a play; it’s a social event. It breaks down the barrier between performers and audience, creating a communal experience that is both engaging and entertaining. It’s a chance to see Shakespeare’s work from a fresh perspective, one that highlights the timelessness of his humor and the adaptability of his stories.

Tickets for Drunk Shakespeare can be purchased through Ticket Network at Cultural DMV Event Calendar or through their official website. For more information and to buy tickets, visit the Drunk Shakespeare website. Prepare to laugh, cheer, and possibly drink alongside the Drunk Shakespeare Society.
