Dracula, A Comedy Of Terrors Tickets - London
Bram Stoker’s horror classic is given a dramatical comic makeover in DRACULA, A COMEDY OF TERRORS at the Menier Chocolate Factory in a gender-bending, lightning-fast reimagining that features a Gen Z pansexual Count Dracula who finds himself amid an existential crisis.
This fang-tastic new comedy features a talented cast of five switching both costumes and roles at the drop of a hat, this freewheeling 90-minute send-up plays with gender norms and sexuality in the spirit of comedy legends Monty Python, Charles Ludlam, and Mel Brooks – and is a celebration of goth, camp, and the very magic of live theatre itself.
High up in the Transylvanian mountains, Jonathan Harker, a meek English estate agent, undertakes a long and harrowing journey to meet a mysterious new client, who just happens also to be possibly the most terrifying(ly narcissistic) monster the world has ever known: Count Dracula! After the Count hones in on Harker’s fiancé, the brilliant young earth scientist Lucy Westfeldt, he meets his match for the very first time – along with a slew of other colourful characters including insect connoisseur Renfield, vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing, and behavioral psychiatrist Wallace Westfeldt, whose English country estate doubles up as a free-range mental asylum.
