SYNOPSIS

Get ready… meet the most glamorous vampire you’ve ever seen. The play opens as a quartet of caped narrators pops in with heavy-looking books and a friendly warning: yes, we’re about to dive into the world of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but not quite the version you remember. (Turns out someone skipped the reading.)

Enter Count Dracula — tall, tan, ripped and ready to seduce or spook (or both). He’s got a new real-estate deal, a Victorian estate, and a penchant for things that go bump after midnight. Into his orbit comes the earnest real-estate agent Jonathan Harker, who just wants to close the deal, mention his fiancée casually, and maybe avoid getting turned into a bat. But lots can happen when you roam from Transylvania to the English countryside… and your client has fangs, a cape, and dramatic flair.

Back in England we meet the glamorous sisters (yes, they’ve been remixed a little), a creepy shipwreck with a bat flying around, a mysterious illness of the blood, and juicy gossip about who’s getting bitten tonight. The forest of gothic tropes gets trimmed, rejigged, and sprayed with glitter. Characters flip roles, actors sprint off-stage, change hats, wigs, accents — all in service of the joke. Five actors, dozens of characters, and every costume change a wink.

Gender norms get mashed, Victorian stiff collars meet pop-culture quips, and “blood-curdling screams” are more likely to be laughter than terror. By the time you’ve passed through the haunted manor, the seductive vampire, the heroic (or heroically confused) hunters, and a few slapstick chases you’ll realize: this is a vampire story you can laugh through.

And then, yes, there’s that final moment where you might clap, maybe howl, possibly gasp… but mostly you’ll grin. Because for 90-ish minutes (yes, it’s crisp) the show gives you a gothic classic turned inside out, upside down, and back again — with heart, camp, and a few neck-biting jokes.
