This year, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® are
pouring their legendary cock-eyed chaos into the Bard-shaped vessel that is A
Midsummer Night’s Dream. Think drunken donkeys, fandangled fairies and mullered
mechanicals… it’s hard to imagine anything more magical, right?
Each night, a rotating cast
member will get genuinely spiffingly splifficated and attempt to perform A
Midsummer Night’s Dream as you have never seen before. Making for a different
show every night, nobody (not even the cast) knows in which direction the show
will stumble. Come and get fuddled in the forest with us!
13 years ago, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® set out on
the world's longest bar crawl and have been staggering from theatre to theatre
ever since. From Edinburgh to Australia, Boston to Southend, this bunch of
irreverent drama queens have been shaking up The Bard, performing to sell-out
crowds and most importantly, making people roar with laughter ever since.
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® seek to
remind theatregoers that life is brighter when you are being stupid.

The spectacular tribute to the Queen of Pop starring Kieshia Chun & her Million Dollar Band. Kieshia is one of the UK’s Best International Tribute Acts who began her exciting musical voyage of artistic discovery in 1996. Since then, she has used constant collaboration and exploration to shape the signature sound that echoes that of the late, great Whitney Houston.
Kieshia gained her experiences working with the likes of Maxi Priest and the Four Tops as well as performing at large corporate events with some impressive venues to welcome her. Whitney has been the soundtrack to Kieshia’s life and so it seemed only natural to pay homage to her idol.
As an eternal fan of Whitney, and with the power to match her vocals, Kieshia’s 29-years of experience enables her to offer a top quality performance for every occasion.
