Description

The five-star, multi sell-out Fringe phenomenon is back with its hilarious combination of an entirely serious adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and an absolutely sh!t-faced actor! It wouldn't be the Fringe without it. With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same in this raucous, riotous rampage through one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. Featuring a rotating cast of the finest classically trained actors, partial nudity, foul language, acts of a sexual nature, and actual Shakespeare. Remember to #EnjoyShakespeareResponsibly.
