The UK premiere of Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors, transforms Bram Stoker's horror classic into a gender-bending laugh-out-loud production. Book Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors tickets on London Theatre.
Following its hit Off-Broadway run in 2023 and 2024, Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors comes to the Menier Chocolate Factory stage. As the New York Stage Review 4-star review said of the run, "A clever script and a versatile cast transform a horror classic into pure fun and games."
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a play by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen (Crime and Punishment, A Comedy); the tale was first produced as a radio play in 2020. They transformed the beloved horror classic, Dracula, into a campy, fast-paced show the likes of Rocky Horror Picture Show and Young Frankenstein. The tale brings audiences to the dangerous Transylvania mountains and tells the story of Count Dracula, who has been reimagined as a Gen Z pansexual in the midst of an existential crisis.
In a statement leading up to the Off-Broadway premiere, Greenberg said, "In re-reading Dracula, we were surprised and intrigued by the boldness with which Stoker, a closeted gay man in Victorian England, plays with sexuality and gender norms."
The play boasts five talented actors who quickly switch between costumes and roles throughout the production. James Daly (Wendy and Peter Pan) returns to the role of Dracula after originating the role Off-Broadway. The cast also includes Safeena Ladha (The Great Gatsby), Dianne Pilkington (The Wizard of Oz), Charlie Stemp (Kiss Me, Kate) and Sebastien Torkia (La Cage Aux Folles).
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors in London has an exceptional creative team led by director Gordon Greenberg. The creative team also includes set designer Tijana Bjelajac (Fiddler on the Roof), costume designer Tristan Raines (Jump), lighting designer Ben Cracknell (The Addams Family), and sound designer Yvonne Gilbert (Mother Goose).
