79 Ways to Die - The Interactive Shakespeare Speedrun

What a fun afternoon in the theatre! Top notch ensemble, classic source material, completely unhinged show! This was just fantastic. Both a sendup and an homage to Shakespeare, with a bit of current politics thrown in. And lots of fake blood. And squirt guns. And audience participation. And murder. Did I mention murder? No wonder this took best ensemble in San Diego Fringe. This is about as much fun as you'll have in a theatre! ... full review

A super fun show - especially for the diehard Shakespeare heads. The cast was full of energy, presence, comedy chops and bravery - all so delightful. Go enjoy a bunch of people dying! And dying again! And again! With gusto!... full review

I think I lost a lung laughing so hard. "79 Ways To Die - The Interactive Shakespeare Speedrun" is not only a ridiculously funny, entertaining time, it's also tightly paced, well choreographed, and features a cast that's as committed to the bit as any I've seen. A must-see for everyone, but ESPECIALLY if you're a Shakespeare fan who loves people messing with Shakespeare.... full review

The show was super fun to watch and be a part of! The actors had such great energy and just immersed you in the show to the point where you forget you’re watching in an audience and feel as if you’re there! ... full review

What if Drunk Shakespeare and The Play That Goes Wrong had a fringe theater baby? This ensemble farce and tribute to Shakespeare's oft-labyrinthine plotting is a lot of fun. The jokes fly fast and furious and hit more than they miss. The cast has an excellent camaraderie that keeps things moving and responds well to unexpected turns, which are inevitable when a production requires this much audience participation. Wetter than one would expect!... full review

Imagine CliffsNotes for Shakespearian deaths, presented as a speed-through recap that emanates the tone of the three endings in Clue, paired with the memorable effects of Waterworld at Universal Studios, and you’d have 79 Ways to Die. This has a surprising blend of humor, quality ass-shaking, innuendo, puppetry, and “realistic” practical effects, all performed by a group of actors that know how to charm you into cheering them on. This is a show that exudes the very heart of what Fringe does best. It’s camp, it’s fun, and doesn’t ask you to take it, or yourself, too seriously. ... full review

This was the brilliant, weird step-child of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged" and "The Play that Goes Wrong" with a spicy side of all things DEATH. It was cleverly written, passionately played, and just a pure romp through controlled chaos that had us giggling from start to finish. This is the type of show that starts at a small fringe and ends up Off-Broadway. Do not miss this show!... full review

Tight ensemble of performers doing a show that was both edgy and insightful. When audience members were asked onstage, it always felt organic. The interplay between performer and audience was balanced and made it feel truly collaborative. Really fun and included sock puppets!... full review

An unforgettable, must-see experience! It’s one of the funniest interactive shows I’ve ever seen.... full review

It's like Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged... but sexier... full review
