Drunk History Society Houston: Saturday show at The Emerald Theatre – A Disappointing Night Out
Are you considering attending a performance of Drunk Shakespeare? Think twice before buying those tickets. My recent experience with this show was a disaster, and I’m sharing my review to warn others.
What Went Wrong with Drunk Shakespeare
I was expecting a fun and lighthearted comedy based on the works of Shakespeare. Instead, I got a frat house-style party with a heavy-handed political agenda. The jokes fell flat, and the historical facts were questionable at best. The focus on social issues and sexual orientation was not only unadvertised but also felt out of place.
The Atmosphere Was More Bachelorette Party Than Shakespearean
The noise level was ear-shattering, exceeding safe decibel limits for hearing loss. The atmosphere was more akin to a wild bachelorette party, complete with lewd gestures and sex jokes. It was not the sophisticated evening I was expecting.
Overpriced Drinks and Hidden Costs
To add insult to injury, the drinks were overpriced, with a $6 cola being the norm. The promised free drink with ticket was just a tiny shot glass of questionable alcohol content. Many drinks, including several beers, were “sold out,” leaving only high-margin options available.
Conclusion: Skip Drunk Shakespeare
Overall, my experience with Drunk Shakespeare was a disappointment. It felt like the show was more interested in taking my money than providing a quality evening of entertainment. If you’re looking for a fun and sophisticated night out, I’d recommend skipping Drunk Shakespeare and opting for something else.
Rating: 1/5 stars
