Dracula
September 25 - November 3, 2019
The Topfer at ZACH Theatre
Written and Directed by Steven Dietz***
Adapted from the Novel by Bram Stoker
Exquisite and provocative, Steven Dietz’s new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a chilling fantasy with a surprising twist — a bold heroine who dares to defy the ruler of the night. Mina, the object of Dracula’s desire, is in charge and with steadfast courage sleuths to uncover the mystery. Come early and experience the Victorian goth lobby, complete with Tarot Readers (by Curia Arcanum) and Ghost Story-Tellers (by Austin's original Austin Ghost Tours), before the on-stage tricks and spooks. A vampire bite awaits the first 20 people in the lobby! This foray to the dark side is Austin’s Fall date-night, destined to become the hottest cult classic at ZACH.
Join us on Halloween Night for the Vamps and Vixens Masquerade with DJ’s, dancing, drinkulas and lite bites!
