Shit-Faced Shakespeare by the legendary Magnificent Bastard Productions is the hilarious combination of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely shit-faced cast member. Side-splitting, raucous and completely interactive, the show has already entertained over 35,000 eager theatre goers across the UK and America. Having successfully completed multiple sell-out runs at the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals, Shit-Faced Shakespeare is back with an all new show for 2015... The Merchant of Venice! 'Genuinely hilarious' (Guardian). 'The funniest show at the Fringe' (Daily Star). 'Very rock'n'roll' (Times).
