Sh!t-faced Shakespeare

THE HAYMARKET
The smash-hit, award-winning, multi-sell-out phenomenon is back with an unconventional, no-holds-barred interpretation of Romeo and Juliet.
A tipsily tragic take on William Shakespeare's most well-known characters: from a rat-arsed Romeo to a juiced-up Juliet, a trollied Tybalt or a mashed-up Mercutios, along with enough booze to sterilise a brewery floor. This will be a tragedy like no other – the cup overfloweth.
There is no love lost between the Capulet and Montague families, and everyone in Verona knows it. Surely the only hangover cure to centuries of family feuds is two forlorn teenagers from opposite households falling in love with each other? And a swig (or two) of the finest spirits to nudge them in the right direction, of course... What could possibly go wrong?
Warning: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare may feature foul language, nudity, disembowelled limbs and, occasionally, some Shakespeare.
