dracula, a feminist revenge fantasy, really
By Kate Hamill
Loosely Based on the novel by Bram Stoker
directed by melissa mowry
october 16 - November 3, 2024
A feast for the eyes and the mind, take a bite out of this Victorian horror story reimagined through the sharp, contemporary humor of Kate Hamill. This story of Dracula is unlike any you’ve ever seen — follow these reinvigorated characters through the dark in this disquieting, yet comedic drama that explores the nature of predators, monsters, and the terrors of everyday life. This re-imagined tale of Bram Stoker's classic reveals new monsters beneath the skin and drives a stake right through the patriarchy.
