I just adore silliness. Having missed Sh!t-faced last year it was a must see for this run, and if you're after a side splitting laugh you have to see this show. 

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare does exactly what it says on the tin, but somehow it's ten times funnier than expected. While immediately apparent which cast member had drunk the three beers and half a bottle of vodka on the night (look toward the giggles coming from stage left) the rest of the cast expertly played into our drunkards shenanigans, participating in a 'yes and' economy to drive the show. 

An expert adaptation of a well known text, it truly transports you back in time and makes you realise that people have been watching and performing adaptations of Shakespeare (and have been varying degrees of pissed while doing so), for centuries.
