One professional actor takes 5 shots of rum and then attempts to perform a major role in Treasure Island.
Drunk Pirates sends a crew of fearless actors on a chaotic quest for buried treasure, where shifting alliances, sword fights, and suspiciously slurred monologues threaten to derail the entire adventure. Hilarity and mayhem ensue in the heart of Washington D.C., as the sober cast fights to keep the story afloat.
Every show is different depending on who is drinking…and what they’re drinking.

The actors are amazing. They seem to love the job and they make it so fun so engaging. I had a blast. I wish I could come back soon, but I don’t live here but the next time that I am in Phoenix, Arizona, I am going back to drunk Shakespeare because it was the best time ever+3![]()

Same crew, new voyage. Drunk Pirates comes from The Drunk Shakespeare Society, the company that’s been getting one actor gloriously drunk and turning the classics into chaos for over a decade. This time we’ve traded iambic pentameter for Treasure Island, swords, and the high seas. So if you loved Drunk Shakespeare, you already know the drill: real actors, real rum, and no two nights the same. If you’ve never been, this is a very fun place to start.
Drunk Pirates is now playing at The Sage Theatre (1100 13th St NW, Washington, DC 20005), located blocks away from the White House and Thomas Circle in the heart of Downtown Washington D.C.
The show runs Tuesday through Sunday with performances at various times, a quick walk from Franklin Park and the Metro Center subway station.
The show runs about 90 minutes, without an intermission. Craft cocktails are available for purchase, and can be delivered directly to your seat!
Yes. There are numerous paid garages, including C&C Parking (1310 L St NW, Washington, DC 20005), and street parking options available nearby.
Looking for things to do in Washington D.C. that aren’t another monument, museum, or happy hour on the Hill? Trade the Beltway for the high seas in an immersive speakeasy where the rum is real and the chaos is guaranteed. It’s date-night-friendly, group-friendly, and unlike anything else downtown. It’s a 21+ night out, so bring your ID and your sea legs.
