You are cordially invited to a meeting of The Drunk Shakespeare Society. In a hidden speakeasy, five classically-trained actors assemble for their sacred ritual. One actor takes five shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespeare play. Hilarity and mayhem ensue as the remaining sober actors attempt to keep the play on track. Every night is different depending on who’s drinking … and what they’re drinking! Drunk Shakespeare is a New York Times’ Critics Pick and “the best thing to ever happen to the theater” according to Slate Magazine.
something similar to this toured through my town recently called "
The Dope Show". comedians perform one set, and then attempt a second one once they've been hauled outside and made to light up. apparently they don't go easy on them, they hit them with the strong stuff. i didn't make it but i could see this being very hit or miss: some folks are probably hilarious while stoned, while others become boring/paranoid/introverted/sleepy/etc...i'm lucky that i live in one of the limited number of states where they can (semi-)legally do this.
