Sh!t-faced Shakespeare takes seven actors, a Shakespearean script and throws a bucket-load of booze into the mix.

Having performed at Leicester Square Theatre and around the world they will be playing the Tyne Theatre & Opera House October 7.

Each night, one designated actor is given four hours to consume as much alcohol as they can. The revolving cast then give Shakespeare a twist as they attempt to navigate comic misunderstandings, love and deception.
