If you are the designated drunk, your job is simple: drink steadily for four hours

I have always enjoyed performing Shakespeare – I love how his plays deal with the extremes of human emotion.Acting in the Shit-faced Shakespeare show was my first job out of drama school and I now also produce and direct the show.

For the rest of the cast, your job is to create a fun atmosphere for the drunk; we play games, listen to music, dance, and spend a good amount of time mocking each other – it’s a fun four hours! We also need to get into costume and do make up. No one is allowed the help the drunk with this, it’s much funnier that way.

Some of these scenarios include: drunks with working power drills onstage, having to play other people’s parts without knowing any of the lines, all of the characters being killed 10 minutes before the end of the play and audience members being dragged onstage.

In fact one of the biggest misconceptions about what we do is that we aren’t really drunk. We are. Imagine you are down the pub with your friends drinking steadily for four hours… we get about that level of drunk.
