“Ay me, for pity! What a dream was here!” Two pairs of lovers, one devious Puck, the entire Athenian forest, and audience participation- what could possibly go wrong? William Shakespeare’s timeless comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream gets the Shit-faced Shakespeare® treatment! One entirely serious Shakespeare play blown apart by one entirely serious drunken actor. Now performing at the Lil Chuck at the Charles Playhouse. Rediscover the chaos and hilarity and remember to enjoy Shakespeare responsibly! Content Curious? Our shows feature murder, treason, war, violence (personal, sexual, and national), suicide, regicide, incest, and blasphemy- and that is just the Shakespeare! Our drinker has been known to contribute profanity, and the occasionally bare butt-cheek. If any of this puts you off, maybe another show is more your speed. Health Warnings: Loud sounds, fog, and flashing lights. Want More? Follow our socials for special discounts, updates on our season, and #Peek Behind the Bucket - pulling back the curtain for a sneaky peek of actors prepping for the show and backstage antics.
Lil Chuck at the Charles Playhouse is at 74 Warrenton St., Boston, MA.
