The Drunk Shakespeare Society will sink their teeth into Transylvania’s most notorious aristocrat this Halloween season. 

Loosely based on Bram Stoker's classic, Drunk Dracula is written by Lori Wolter Hudson and co-created by Hudson, Lisa Klages Calhoun, David HuDson, and Scott Griffin. Directed by Calhoun, the new seasonal offering from Off-Broadway's long-running show Drunk Shakespeare will run October 9 through November 3 at the Ruby Theater.

Drunk Dracula will star Preston Mulligan as Dracula, Sarah Goldstein as Van Yuengling, Aubrey Lace Taylor as Mina and Lucy, Chris Trindade as Harker and Seward, and Nate Betancourt as The Narrator. Christian Roberts and Ben Salus will be the production swings.

Described as "a spooky night of booze-infused laughs… and maybe even a bit of necking," the production will stage additional performances Halloween week, in addition to their standard performance schedule. Craft cocktails and snacks will be available for purchase during all performances. 

The Drunk Shakespeare Society has been meeting, drinking, and performing Shakespeare for over a thousand nights (and over a thousand liters of liquor). With more performances of Shakespeare than any other company in America, the New York troupe performs in a hidden library Speakeasy with over 10,000 real books. Drunk Shakespeare is currently performing in New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., Phoenix, and Houston. Drunk Dracula will also premiere in their Houston venue.
