Bram Stoker’s original language paints the decidedly devilish Dracula thus: “I want your fear. For your fear, like a current, rushes through your body. Your fear makes your heart pound, it renders your veins rich and full. Your fear hemorrhages deliciously within you.”

This new adaptation by Autumn N. Lowry and J. Brad McKenzie restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

*Tickets for Cocktails with Characters are $25 for each attendee and include light refreshments and a cash bar.

Dracula is for mature audiences only as it depicts violence and takes frightening themes as subject matter.
