Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet - 2022 West End History , Info & More
There is no love lost between the Capulet and Montague families and everyone in Verona knows it. Certainly the only way to mend centuries of bad blood is by having two forlorn teenagers from opposite households fall in love with each other, right? Nothing that a swig (or two) of the finest spirits can’t fix!
Featuring Shakespeare’s most famous feuding family, cousins without a cause, and so many faux deaths it makes daytime TV look good.
Warning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare absolutely 100% without a doubt will feature foul language and some nudity.
