It’s Hamlet as you’ve never seen before. Sh!t-faced Shakespeare has launched its 15th anniversary production of Shakespeare’s tragedy, which is now playing at Leicester Square Theatre.
The story of a “privileged, whiny lad who goes a bit bonkers and does some stabbings,” it comes from a rotating cast featuring “a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, [so] no two shows are ever the same.”
Making their Sh!tfaced debuts will be Josh Bryant-Jones, Aaron Phinehas Peters, Kate Roche, Shady Murphy. Returning to the Sh!t-faced Shakespeare company are Jamie Sandersfield, John Mitton, Princess Donnough and Charlie Keable.
This Sh!t-faced Shakespeare production of Hamlet is directed by Stacey Norris, produced by James Murfitt and Johanna Rigg for Leicester Square Theatre, with dance choreography from Beth-Louise Priestley and fight choreography from Robbie Capaldi, lighting design by Tom Williams, set design by Nicola Jones, costume design by Lorna Jean Costumes and musical arrangement by Emily Stratford.
Hamlet is now running at Leicester Square Theatre until Sunday, September 21.
