SH*T-Faced Shakespeare History
SH*T-Faced Shakespeare began in 2005 as a unique theatrical concept that aimed to bring a fresh twist to the classic works of the Bard. Founded in Edinburgh, Scotland, by a group of performers and comedians, this irreverent take on Shakespeare combines the brilliance of Shakespearean dialogue with the unpredictable humor that comes from one drunken actor. The brainchild of Mischief Theatre's co-founders, the performance art form quickly gained traction at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Each show features a fully unabridged Shakespeare play where at least one performer, chosen randomly before the show begins, is inebriated to the point of comedic antics. The direct interaction with audiences and the live element of surprise have become hallmarks of the production, allowing for a unique experience in every performance. As the concept grew in popularity, SH*T-Faced Shakespeare expanded beyond Edinburgh, touring major cities worldwide, captivating audiences with its charm and whimsy while preserving the integrity of Shakespeare's original text. Today, SH*T-Faced Shakespeare has developed a devoted global following, melding literature's high brow with comedy's low brow.
