One of the best parts about living in Boston is the breadth and depth of live performances we have access to all year. In the summer we have Shakespeare in the Park, in the winter we have the Boston Ballet’s Nutcracker, and this Fall we are getting Shit-Faced Shakespeare.

Shit-Faced Shakespeare(R) is an adults-only performance where one of the cast members is “charged with drinking for 4 hours prior to showtime.” So basically, this drunk cast member is there to stir the pot while the rest of the crew manages to tell a classic Shakespearean tale for the audience, with a lot of laughs thrown in.
