Shit-faced Shakespeare®: Romeo and Juliet
2022-09-23 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-09-22 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-09-17 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-09-16 19:00 - 20:30, 2022-09-15 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | The Rockwell
“O, happy dagger!’ Shit-faced Shakespeare is back at The Rockwell, where it all began, with their smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, award-winning, multi sell-out fringe phenomenon version of Romeo and Juliet. There is no love lost between the Capulet and Montague families and everyone in Verona knows it. Certainly the only way to mend centuries of bad blood is by having two forlorn teenagers from opposite households fall in love with each other, right? Right! Nothing that a swig (or two) of the finest spirits can’t fix! Featuring Shakespeare’s most famous feuding family, cousins without a cause, and so many faux deaths it makes daytime TV look good.
Shit-faced Shakespeare® is the deeply highbrow fusion of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely shit-faced cast member. Side-splitting, raucous and completely unpredictable, the show has been running since 2010 and has already entertained over 400,000 eager theatre goers across the UK. Shit-faced Shakespeare® landed Stateside in April of 2015 with its first performances right here at The Rockwell.
With a genuinely drunken professional actor selected at random every night, no two shows are ever the same. Shit-Faced Shakespeare® seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as we go to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.

Bad Jews

A fierce, biting comedy about family, faith, and what you choose to believe, when you’re chosen.

The night after their grandfather’s funeral, three cousins engage in a verbal (and sometimes physical) battle. In one corner is Daphna Feygenbam, a “Real Jew” who is volatile, self-assure, and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man, who has his shiska girlfriend, Melody, in tow. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother, Jonah, who tries to stay out of the fray. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather’s Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues.
“Bad Jews” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Staged Reading of New Play "M: Refractions from an Evil Act"
2022-08-27 20:00 - 22:30
For one night only, come see a reading of a new work-in-progress written by James Wilkinson and directed by Joe Juknievich.
A woman traveling in a foreign country can’t shake the creeping feeling that something is not right at the hotel where she’s staying. A man wandering the halls claims to have a memory of a terrible incident. The hotel staff seem to be scheming behind the scenes. It all comes crashing together late one night when the past begins to repeat itself….
Join us for the first public reading of this new play. Audience members are invited to a post-show discussion where they can share their thoughts on the piece and learn about how the show comes together.

Me in Capris with Superdown
2022-08-26 19:30 - 22:30
Hailing from the only purple house in Roslindale, Me in Capris has carved out a place in Boston’s live music scene as an unmissable combination of pretty pop and rambunctious rock. Part posh, part trash, there’s no telling which band you’ll get on any given night but you’re sure to learn to love it either way.
Barreling straight into song after song, Boston Massachusetts outfit Superdown live each note like there is no tomorrow. Vocals move from gentle to guttural at a moment’s notice. The music heightens and breaks into a driving force that feels like it is carrying you to shore through a violent sea. If Samiam and Hot Water Music had the sensibility of The Gaslight Anthem, the result would be Superdown.
