Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors @ The Menier Chocolate Factory, London

DRACULA, A COMEDY OF TERRORS gives Bram Stokers horror classic a comic makeover in this lightning-fast gender-bending reimagining that features a Gen Z pansexual Count Dracula in the midst of an existential crisis. With a cast of five switching costumes and roles at the drop of a hat, this 90-minute freewheeling send-up plays with sexuality and gender norms in the spirit of RuPaul, Monty Python and Mel Brooks and celebrates goth, camp, and the magic of live theatre itself. In the treacherous mountains of Transylvania, Jonathan Harker, a meek English estate agent, takes a harrowing journey to meet a new and mysterious client, who happens to be the most terrifying(ly narcissistic) monster the world has ever known: Count Dracula! When the Count sets his sights on Harkers fianc, the brilliant young earth scientist Lucy Westfeldt, he meets his match for the first time as well as a slew of other colorful characters including vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing, insect connoisseur Renfield and behavioral psychiatrist Wallace Westfeldt, whose British country estate doubles as a free-range mental asylum. Presented in association with Drew & Dane Productions.
