After winning over audiences in New York City, Los Angeles and Las Vegas with their rambunctious brand of revelry, SHOTSPEARE makes it’s Australian debut at The Adelaide Fringe Festival’s Garden of Unearthly Delight’s in the Umbrella Revolution. Shotspeare presents Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Friday, February 13 thru Sunday, March 15. All shows are at 10:45 PM.

SHOTSPEARE brings together five sword-wielding actors, one drunken audience member, a ridiculous amount of booze, and an entire work of Shakespeare, all in an hour. Combining live theater with real liquor, real steel and a healthy dose of comedy, SHOTSPEARE takes the world’s most beloved playwright, soaks him in beer and flips him on his head.

For their Festival engagement at the Umbrella Revolution, SHOTSPEARE will present their chaotic and comedic interpretation of the Bard of Avon’s greatest love story, Romeo and Juliet. The most “tragic” thing about this classic tragedy would be if the booze runs out!

Harkening back to the actual time of Shakespeare where audience members (groundlings) were boisterous and partook in the show, SHOTSPEARE is an interactive staging of a Shakespearean work infused with a raucous drinking game. SHOTSPEARE, dubbed the, “world’s first Shakespearean drinking game show,” allows the audience to participate in the mayhem that is equal parts bacchanal and classical theater. You may know Shakespeare, but you’ve never experienced Shakespeare like this.
