  3. Drunk Shakespeare


"The Best Thing to Ever Happen to The Theater" -Slate Magazine. "A live action Drunk History" -TimeOut. The stage is set in a hidden speakeasy located behind the Chicago Theater. Guests enter to find a glam cocktail bar and library with over 10,000 books. Five classically-trained actors meet there as members of "The Drunk Shakespeare Society". One drinks at least 5 shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play. Hilarity and mayhem ensue while the four sober actors try to keep the script on track. Each show is different depending on who is drinking... and what they're drinking! Check Website for Showtimes & Additional Performances - Wed 8pm, Thu 7:30pm, Fri 8pm & 10pm, Sat 8pm & 10pm.
