Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really.
By Kate Hamill
Based Loosely on the Novel by Bram Stoker
Directed by Mary Trotter
Bouncing between horror and humor, Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s seminal novel is a thrilling play that questions who the true monsters are. When your survival is at stake…will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity. Fierce, feminist, and frightening, Dracula is a revenge fantasy worth sinking your teeth into!
