Ronin Theatre Company is bringing “Dracula In Tombstone” to the Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix.
“This western dark comedy is ideal for All Hallow’s Eve,” Ronin artistic director and “Dracula” fight choreographer Keath Hall shared in a press release. “And where better to celebrate the Celtic pagan festival of Samhain (‘sah-win’) than at the Castle on Central?” – a landmark nickname for the Center.
The run begins with a 7:30 p.m. performance Thursday, Oct. 26, and continues through Halloween night, Tuesday, Oct. 31.

Directed by Van Rockwell, “Dracula In Tombstone” is ‘what-if’ scenario that blends the legend of Wyatt Earp with the fiction of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” Set in 1882, soon after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, playwright Mickey Fisher spins a story that would have taken place before the famous Dubliner Stoker published his most famous novel about the Transylvanian Count.
Will Wadsworth stars as Wyatt Earp and Paul Gortarez as Dracula.
The rest of the cast features Chandler Aguirre (Tom), Clifford Alfrey (Frank), Eric Darling-Bond (Edwin), Kate Haas (Josey), Malcolm Hooper (Jim), Andrea Hough (Kate), Sophie Markham (Mary) and Narvel Willie (Sani).
