"Drunk Shakespeare," playing at the intimate Rose Theatre in Phoenix throughout June and July, is a riotous blend of classic Shakespeare and spontaneous humor. The actors, known for imbibing generously before performances, deliver lines with an unpredictable twist, making each show a unique spectacle. It's "A live-action drunk history," according to Time Out. You are submerged in the action at the Rose Theatre, and the bar is never far away. This fusion of Bardic tradition and tipsy improvisation offers a refreshing, up-close view of Shakespeare. Get tickets
