In May of 2006, Vampire Cowboys premiered its most ambitious and successful show to date, LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK. The play, an action adventure/horror sequel to Shakespeare's HAMLET, performed to sold-out houses, rave reviews, and introduced an all-new crop of artists to Vampire Cowboys' already impressive stable of theatre professionals. With fights by Marius Hanford and zombie masks/blood & gore effects by GWAR co-founder, Chuck Varga, LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK soared to new heights of spectacle never before seen on a VCTC stage.

"A perfect storm of theater - and horror - geek obsessions."
- David Cote, TIMEOUT/NY

“Hilarious and witty. From the reaction of the youthful standing room only house, Vampire Cowboys is reaching the untapped audience that other theatres can only drool over. A BACKSTAGE critic's pick!”
– Victor Gluck, BACKSTAGE

"LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK is inspired and offbeat theatre. It is entertaining and raucous, occasionally crass, surprisingly moving in places, and entirely original. If you want to see something a little unusual that will also renew your faith in what theatre can be, check out the Vampire Cowboys."
– Michael Criscuolo, NYTHEATRE.COM

“Blasts lower Manhattan’s cooler than cool theater out of competition. Fast paced, fresh, full of action, clever lines and wrapped in classic youthful fearlessness.”
– Lee Bines, RETROVISIONMEDIA.COM

“Highly entertaining . . . a full-out assault on Shakespeare in the form of B-movie madness and some seriously kick-ass stage combat. Vampire Cowboys Theater Company's mission is to entertain by first engaging its audiences. It prides itself on keeping them on the edge of their seats, and with LIVING DEAD IN DENMARK, it achieves its goal.”
– Sean Michael O'Donnell, OFFOFFONLINE

"Guaranteed to be fun and fierce!"
- Kessa De Santis, ELECTRONIC LINK JOURNEY
