I love the whole concept. A small company of extremely versatile actors perform Shakespeare in the round (where here, "the round" means a tiny runway space in the midst of an audience intimate enough where the actors can remember most everyone's name) while one of their number is drunk. Grab a drink, mingle with your fellow audience members and the cast, and then the fun begins. Your drunk cast member is introduced, plied with booze, and off they go. The space is cozy but not claustrophobic. It's ridiculous, and hilarious and if you have the type of friends who quote back things that amuse them for months on end, they're about to pick up a catch phrase or two. Shakespeare was meant to be immersive in the first place. Pretty sure Bill Shakes would approve.
