NEW YORK CITY, HE'S A GODDAMN VAMPIRE
This fall, one actor takes five shots of whiskey and attempts an epic retelling of Transylvania’s thirstiest bachelor… DRACULA!
When history’s most famous vampire (sorry, Edward) is loosed upon the Big Apple, will you try to stop him…or let him have his way? The Drunk Shakespeare Society is paying homage to the original drinker and bringing its brand of mayhem to the spooky season with Drunk Dracula.

BEFORE YOU BITE.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
IS THIS THE SAME THING AS DRUNK SHAKESPEARE?
Same team, new undead story. Drunk Dracula comes from The Drunk Shakespeare Society, the company that’s been getting one actor gloriously drunk and turning classics into chaos for over a decade. This time we’ve traded iambic pentameter for Transylvania’s thirstiest bachelor. If you loved Drunk Shakespeare, or any of our drunken tales, you already know the drill: real actors, real alcohol, and no two nights are the same. If you’ve never been, this is a great place to start.
IS IT SCARY?
It’s a comedy in a cape. Expect fog, strobe lights, loud noises, and hilarious antics – nobody is going to chase you, and we don’t actually bite… hard.
DO I NEED TO KNOW DRACULA?
No homework required. If you know that vampires and drinking exist, you’re caught up. The jokes are modern, the references are pop culture, and the plot stays as clear as it can after 5 shots of whiskey.
IS THE ACTOR REALLY DRINKING?
Yes – really. One professional actor drinks five shots of the liquor of their choice to start the show. The cast rotates who drinks each night, eats and hydrates beforehand, and is provided with safe transportation home. We take drinking responsibly seriously, and work with our team to make sure it is safe and sustainable.
DO I HAVE TO DRINK?
Not at all. The cast drinks so you don’t have to. There is no drink minimum, and we’ve got a great selection of mocktails that can be delivered directly to your seat.
WILL I BE PULLED ONSTAGE?
Only if you volunteer. Participation is always your choice – sit in the back row to watch, stage side to play, or tak the throne to run the whole show.
HOW LONG IS IT? AND WHO CAN COME?
Looking for things to do in NYC this fall that aren’t another Broadway markup or a rooftop bar? Drunk Dracula is a clever, unhinged speakeasy spectacle in Midtown. Date-night-friendly and group-friendly. 90 minutes, no intermission – your night is still young when it ends. The show is strictly 21+ and everyone is ID’d at the door.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE?
The Ruby Theatre is located on 39th Street between 5th and 6th. It is easily accessible via most subway lines to Bryant Park or Times Square.
GET BIT.
Yeah, you know you want to. Six weeks only.
