Drunk Shakespeare - 2014 - Immersive History , Info & More

The Lounge at Roy Arias Stages
711 7th Ave, 2nd Fl New York, NY 10036

One professional NY actor has at least 5 shots of whiskey then attempts to perform in a Shakespearean play.

The stage is set at The Lounge, a hidden library in Times Square with over 15,000 real books and craft cocktails. 5 professional NY actors meet as members of "The Drunk Shakespeare Society." One of them has at least 5 shots of whiskey and then overconfidently attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play. Hilarity and mayhem ensues while the four sober actors try and keep the script on track. Every show is different depending on who is drinking... and what they're drinking!

BWW Editorial: italiani, ma davvero avete ancora voglia di vedere 'Grease'?
by Francesco Vittorino - April 16, 2015


'Grease' e senza dubbio uno degli spettacoli piu amati dagli italiani. Ogni anno, o giu di li, salta fuori una grossa produzione di questo musical e almeno un centinaio di produzioni piccole. E ogni volta la gente e estasiata all'idea di risentire per la millesima volta 'Summer nights' o 'You're the one that I want'. Sara che come spettacolo non mi e mai piaciuto, e se qualche volta riesco a sopportare il film e solo grazie a uno straordinario John Travolta (o di un formidabile Flavio Bucci?), ma non ho mai capito le ragioni di questo amore viscerale.
