Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare to Turn the Dramatic into Drunken Delight with Hamlet

After successful consecutive years of touring, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare are returning to the Tyne Theatre & Opera House on Thursday 6th November 2025, but this time with arguably the greatest dramatic work ever produced, Hamlet. Celebrating 15 years on the wagon, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare has toured the world, broken America and established themselves on London’s West End.

Featuring a cast of professional Shakespeare actors, the performance seems like any other Shakespearean one until one of the performers is chosen to be deliberately intoxicated. The rest of the cast navigates the play the best that they can, which causes unpredictable chaos and even more laughs. Think you know Hamlet? You don’t know this version!

No two nights are ever the same with this production company, who have essentially set out on the world’s longest bar crawl. From Edinburgh to Australia, see how The Bard can be performed in new and exciting ways, time after time.

Jonathan Higgins, CEO of the Tyne Theatre & Opera House exclaims, “Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® has been impressing our audience for several years now, and we’re thrilled to welcome them back into the venue this year. Our comedy and theatre line-up are looking incredible for 2025, so we recommend checking our website to stay up-to-date with all of the fantastic shows on offer!”
