COMEDY PLAY: A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare - Brisbane Powerhouse

Title: A Midsummer Night’s Dream – Sh!t-faced Shakespeare

Presented By: Brisbane Powerhouse

Genre: Comedy / Shakespeare / Improv

Synopsis: The internationally acclaimed, smash-hit comedy phenomenon Sh!t-faced Shakespeare returns to Brisbane with a hilariously chaotic take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This raucous production blends a fully serious Shakespearean play with a completely sh!t-faced actor—resulting in an unpredictable, side-splitting spectacle where anything can happen. With a different inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same.

Prepare for an evening of Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before—complete with drinking, swearing, questionable singing, and possibly some actual Shakespeare!
