NUTS Presents: Drunk Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing
Event description
For the second year in a row, Drunk Shakespeare is back and bigger than ever before!
For those who have never seen a Drunk Shakespeare before, it's fairly simple: each show, 3-4 people will get drunk onstage - yes, really - and the rest of the cast has to hold the show together. For those who have never seen Much Ado About Nothing before, the show follows two pairs of lovers - Hero and Claudio (who fall in love at first sight) and Beatrice and Benedick (who despise each other despite their similarities) - that emerge when a group of soldiers arrive in the town of Messina.
CONTENT WARNING
This show contains sexist language, sexual references and a brief moment of violence. And yes, the people who are serving the drinks have their RSAs.
