Drunk Shakespeare Society to Offer Limited Run of Drunk Dracula

Don’t miss the “to-die-for” performance event of the Halloween season

Drunk Dracula, the “to-die-for” event of the Halloween season presented by the Drunk Shakespeare Society, will have performances October 2nd through November 3rd at The Emerald Theatre. For five weeks only, patrons will have the opportunity to witness one actor take five shots of whiskey and attempt an epic retelling of Transylvania’s thirstiest bachelor… DRACULA!

“There’s no better way to kick off the Halloween season than with history’s most famous vampire,” said David Hudson, Co-creator and Producer, Drunk Shakespeare. “We are excited to pay homage to the original drinker and continue bringing our brand of mayhem to spooky season here in Houston.”

Staged exclusively in Houston and New York this October, Drunk Dracula offers a hilarious evening of booze-infused laughs and unpredictability and promises a blend of wit and wildness.

As the story goes, after centuries of being cooped up in his creepy old castle, Transylvania’s thirstiest bachelor is in need of fresh blood to maintain his youthful looks and chiseled physique. Now, he’s ready to take a giant bite out of H-Town. Each performance will follow the same premise as Drunk Shakespeare, where one of the actors in the ensemble consumes five shots of whiskey to start the show, and then leads the rest of the cast on a boozy, pop culture infused retelling of the famous story. While the sober cast attempts to remain on script, the show varies based on the actor’s level of intoxication.

Located in a hidden library, Drunk Dracula’s audience experience is enhanced by the opportunity to join in or watch the antics of history’s most famous vampire unfold. In addition, guests can purchase craft cocktails and snacks during the show. For those looking to guarantee their audience participation, patrons can purchase “The Royal Throne” for $500 and enjoy an elevated experience that includes a regal throne, royal crowns, a bottle of Moet & Chandon, fine caviar and handmade chocolates, two signature cocktails with premium liquor, as well as decision making powers during the play.

“Our talented group of actors are no strangers to this unconventional concept and are eager to bring tricks and treats to both new and returning audiences,” said Hudson. “Whether you’re looking for a unique date night or an immersive experience with friends, we invite you to join us for a memorable night like no other.”

Drunk Dracula is written and directed by Lori Wolter Hudson, co-created by Lori Wolter Hudson, Lisa Klages Calhoun, David Hudson, and Scott Griffin, and produced by Brass Jar Productions. Drunk Dracula is an adult-only show (21+) featuring strong language, vulgarity, sexual humor, and audience interaction, with potential elements of nudity.
