Drunk Shakespeare is an off-Broadway play created by Scott Griffin and David Hudson currently performing in New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., Phoenix, and Houston. It premiered at Quinn's Bar and Grill in March 2014. As of Jan 2019, there have been over 2000 performances. It received a New York Times Critic's Pick saying "it seems inevitable that all performing will soon be done either plastered or stoned". Drunk Shakespeare follows a trend of drinking and performing popularized by the Comedy Central series Drunk History.
