A Shakespeare performance complete with an actor drinking? See how it goes with the Drunk Shakespeare Society. emerald_theatre
If there’s one thing missing from the Houston arts and culture scene, it’s an interactive Shakespeare comedy hybrid.
“Some of them are there for the drinking, some of them are there for the Shakespeare, so I love watching an audience come in with different expectations all meet in the middle by the end and get on board with that balance of really professional Shakespeare delivery and the craziness of adding a drunk actor to the mix,” says Klages.
And the importance of the local audience can’t be understated, as they are a key player equal to that of the cast in an interactive theater production like Drunk Shakespeare. “We always get curveballs,” says Klages. “I like to tell the actors that I’m going to give them a toolkit of different things that they can take out of their toolbox depending on what happens. But I never really tell the actors explicitly if X then Y do this, because the second I lock them into staging that I want to keep throw a drunk actor into the mix and it’s out the window.”“We verify that [the actors] really drink on stage in front of the whole audience every night,” says Klages.
“You can’t really parody something if the foundation isn’t there in the first place,” says Klages. “We want someone who understands the text and channels that text in a way that people really understand so they bring clear emotion, they bring a lens of 2023 with pop culture woven in, [and an] approach to the text without too much preciousness.”
