PAST PRODUCTIONS
DRACULA
written by Bram Stocker, adapted by Robert Pike & Kerry McGee
Listen to them - the children of the night. What music they make. You dwellers in the city cannot enter into the feelings of the hunter.
Experience this nightmarish achievement of storytelling as it drags you through the memorandum, newspaper clippings, and diary pages of a frantic vampire hunt. With faithful adherence to Stoker’s text, immersive staging, and chilling, terrifying (and of course silly) performances, we bring the audience into the heart of Dracula’s conflict: the intersection of predator and prey.
Dracula is the second installment in our Classics-in-Action Series, and like its predecessor, A Midnight Dreary, the story of Dracula will be specifically tailored to each performance space, and is best enjoyed with our custom drink pairing in hand. Bring Your Own Garlic.
Show contains some scary content, but is appropriate for all ages. Running time is approximately an hour.

REVIEWS
"A high-touch, sophisticated event, a condensed Dracula with wit and dramatic tension, which is literary, intellectual, challenging and innovative, and sometimes, extremely funny." - DC Metro Theater Arts
"This is fierce. This is thrilling. This is a racing pulsating heartbeat of vampires the likes of which have yet to be experienced on stage. This is the <silver> bullet of Bram Stoker’s spooky unholy, undead living legend." - Theatre Bloom
"The ensemble lurks in the shadows, awaiting their turns, while performing bits of trickery with shadow puppets and flashlights, much to the delight of the audience." - DC Theatre Scene
