About this event

Shakespeare's darkest comedy... if you've had enough beer. ShakesBEER brings its signature Elizabethan-drama-meets-happy-hour treatment to Shakespeare's most deliciously wicked villain in Richard III, a twisted tale of ambition, betrayal, and one man's shameless, scheming climb to the throne. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is smart, ruthless, and speaks directly to the audience about every rotten thing he's about to do — and somehow makes you root for him anyway. Family members plot against family members, alliances crumble by the scene, and nobody in the royal court is safe from Richard's next move. It's Shakespeare's history play at its most theatrical and its most fun to watch fall apart. Whether you're a lifelong Shakespeare fan or meeting Richard for the very first time, this lively production is designed to be approachable, entertaining, and laugh-out-loud funny — treachery has never gone down so smooth. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy an unforgettable evening of comedy, camaraderie, and classic storytelling at The Alley Stage. ABOUT SHAKESBEER: Step into a world where Shakespeare meets happy hour with ShakesBEER, our uproarious series at The Alley Stage. Join us for an evening of Shakespearean revelry as our talented actors take the stage to perform drunken readings of the Bard's greatest plays. With a pint in hand and a tipsy twist on classic lines, these performances promise to bring a whole new level of humor and spontaneity to Shakespeare's timeless works. Expect the unexpected as our actors embrace the full spirit of the play — literally! Whether it's a sloshed soliloquy or a tipsy tragedy, ShakesBEER combines the elegance of Elizabethan drama with the hilarity of a night out. So grab your friends, raise a glass, and enjoy a Shakespearean experience like no other. Cheers to an evening of merriment, mischief, and marvelous misinterpretations! 🍻 ShakesBEER is presented by The Alley Stage Foundation in partnership with North Georgia Shakespeare…
