“There are monsters in this world, Mina. Somebody has to stand against them.” – Van Helsing

In Kate Hamill’s frightening and darkly comic new take on Bram Stoker’s 19th Century novel, however, “the monsters look just like us.” How, then, do people on the side of good fight for their loved ones in a dark world where charming predators are lurking around every corner? Who will drive a stake through the heart of patriarchy? At times comical and campy, and deeply chilling, unsettling, and thought-provoking throughout, this bloody romp is a thrilling turn on the story of Dracula as it’s been told in the past. 

Showtimes each day are as follows:

  • Nov. 1 - 4, 8 p.m.
  • Nov 5, 2 p.m.

Take note: this is a horror show. It contains total darkness, jump scares, staged violence of all kinds, lots of blood, emotional and physical abuse, non-consensual physical contact, misogyny, murder, and implied suicide.  It also comments on and invites critique of those things, but potential audiences who are sensitive to any of the above should be aware that the play might be upsetting. Rest assured: we have worked with a fight and intimacy choreographer whose priority is always the actors’ safety and full consent.
