Shakespeare performed at the New American Shakespeare Tavern in the original style, with handmade period costumes, thrilling sword fights, and live music is the best drama around. The intimate dinner theater with a new production each month is definitely worth a visit. It will become a habit!
They have the best food and wonderful entertainment! I love the plays they show!
Excellent fun and great food! Every performance is different from the last. I love to take friends & family to the Tavern if they're visiting from out of town to give them a taste of Atlanta.
I love the atmosphere and the entertainment of the Shakespeare Tavern. It is always a nice night out.
The Atlanta Shakespeare Company is a one of a kind experience and the performances are always fresh and enjoyable.
Shakespeare's story line is as poignant today as it was when it was written years ago. The creativity of the theatre and cast is marvelous. The action is as close as your fork. Eat AND enjoy the best theatre right at your own table. Sit close to the stage any place, really, any place, in the whole theatre. TOP quality actors who have as much fun the stage as we do in the audience.
These are ''purists"- they are very serious about performing Shakespeare's plays the way that Shakespeare originally intended.
Acting is 1,000% professional. A true joy to witness perfection in this imperfect world!
We went for the first time in July and saw "The Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare - Abridged" It was hilarious! Our daughter participated in Shakespeare Intensive for Teens at the Tavern and really loved the people involved. It is a great place to go!
No one in Atlanta brings theatre to the audience the way the Tavern can!! Their actors are the best; I go back month after month just to see what they're up to!
Shakespeare in an authentic, intimate setting with delicious tavern food and a great price. It always makes for a memorable evening that even my teenagers love.
Top actors playing Shakespeare the way he wrote and directed his plays. Groundlings never had it so good! We have air conditioning
The cast is talented, the atmosphere is casual, you feel like you're really in a Pub environment, it's affordable. It's a perfect night out!!
I love the shows they put on at Shakespeare Tavern, they understand Shakespeare quite well.
Shakespeare tavern is one of the best live plays/shows in town and they do serve a tastey menu for every show.
The Shakespeare Tavern performs plays as Shakespeare wrote them. The actors are superb, the direction is excellent, and the tavern itself transports the audience back to Elizabethan England. Jeff Watkins is one of Atlanta jewels in the arts community.
The plays are top quality. There is a special twist added to keep the audience interested. The atmosphere is enjoyable and comfortable.
I have been to many shows there I have never been disappointed. Love the place. I have also taken my family and they loved it as well can't wait to go back.
The best live theater in Atlanta, a city of great live theater! Better than any Shakespeare theater in any city I have visited as well!
Great company, great theater, and never a dull moment; Atlanta Shakespeare is one of the city's little known hot spots for a good time on a small budget!
The plays of Billy the Bard contain all the drama, action and comedy you need in life and the Atlanta Shakespeare Company performs them in a setting and style that remain true to the playwriter's intent!
Consistently great performances of a wide variety of plays, amid a most pleasant atmosphere.
It is just the right size, the team of actors are very talented. They interact with the customer. Adult beverages are served and the food is good too. It is a nice night out.
The food, the atmosphere, the stage, not to mention a cast that always delivers a great show. They are dedicated to their performance whether in their theater or bringing Shakespeare to local schools.
They have an incredible range, from Shakespeare to slapstick. I've never been to a bad show and I've been to too many performances to count.
The actors are very talented and bring you into the scene with their wit and excellent acting ability!
The atmosphere is time appropriate. Feels like we are really in the time period. Shows are great.
The Atlanta Shakespeare Company is not only the best in Atlanta, but the best in the world because of their audience interaction and because of their exceptionally talented cast.
