THEATRE: Hamlet - Sh!t-faced Shakespeare, Brisbane Powerhouse

Title: Sh!t-faced Shakespeare: Hamlet

Presented By: Brisbane Powerhouse

Genre: Comedy / Theatre / Improvised

Synopsis: The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed comedy phenomenon returns to Brisbane with a riotous take on Hamlet.

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare blends a straight-faced performance of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy with one crucial twist—one actor is genuinely drunk. The result? A chaotic, unpredictable, and side-splitting theatrical experience where no two shows are ever the same.

Expect a wild ride through the story of a brooding prince, packed with improvised mayhem, questionable decisions, and just possibly… some actual Shakespeare.
