Everyone’s favorite detective, Sherlock & Watson, get the Sweet Tea Shakespeare LIT treatment.
Mystery, theatre, booze, and Shakespeare combine as everyone’s favorite detectives get Sweet Tea’s LIT treatment for the first time. A drunken, hilarious, cheeky take on some of literature’s most beloved characters. Sherlock and Watson are trying to solve a crime so classic you might call it Shakespearean, but they stop for a few drinks along the way. Will you join us in Fayetteville, NC for a night of mystery and absurdity, coupled with great music, drinking games, audience participation, improv, and not a few laughs? Elementary, my dear.

Sweet Tea Shakespeare aims to make Shakespeare & classic stories more accessible to everyone, and what better way to do that than by performing one of these famous works while encouraging the audience to drink along? No LIT, Sherlock will be touring to various locations throughout the region, so check out the and come raise a glass to the Bard! We suggest LIT shows be for adults, as they blend stripped-down Shakespeare plays with improv, games, and a relaxed, pub-like environment.
