The New American Shakespeare Tavern

We went to the Tavern for "Complete Works of Shakespeare" last week and had a superb evening - great food, excellent professional show, and a lot of laughs and interaction with the audience. I recommend getting there at least 45 min before the show to settle in and grab some food and one of the fine English beers they have on sale.

Every production is first rate. The setting is so intimate, and the actors are all super. Food is great too.

We went to see The Mystery of Irma Vep. I loved this show!! The actors were just fantastic. They were amazing with the quick changes and perfect comedic timing. The pianist was very impressive. We had a large birthday party at the Shakespeare Tavern, and everyone in our party had a ball. The Tavern is an awesome place to have dinner and bring friends or guests. Everthing we experienced was top notch.

The Tavern is as far removed from pompous theater as possible. The friendly, relaxed pub atmosphere along with professionally expert acting and directing allow the great works that the company presents to get through to everyone. The audience ranges from blue collar to ivory tower, with every age and ethnic group happily represented. One caveat: Shakespeare was often bawdy and the Tavern doesn't gloss over that! Oh, and prices of tickets and food are ridiculously reasonable, starting at $12 for seats on Thursday evenings.

Support Atlanta arts-- try the Shakespeare Tavern! On our first visit to see Romeo and Juliet, less experienced actors did overact to the point of distraction. But, they are learning from the Company's experienced actors who are_ true professionals_. Costumes and lighting were perfect; the food was edible. Be warned that in the balcony there's no place to set your self-served plate of food except on your lap. The lower ledge, however, will accommodate drinks. Next time we’ll get seats downstairs to enjoy dinner and a closer view. We're bringing friends to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales next month. Join us?
