Synopsis

Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a turbocharged parody of Bram Stoker’s cult classic vampire story. The story unfolds with Jonathan Harker traveling to Transylvania to help Count Dracula with a big real estate deal. It’s not before long that he discovers that the Count is a flamboyant, seductive vampire on a mission to conquer England. Back home, Lucy and Mina get caught up in Dracula’s plans, while the quirky Van Helsing takes the lead in stopping him. With just five actors playing dozens of characters, the show moves quickly through mistaken identities, costume changes, and wild scenes. In the end, it tells the well-known story of Dracula chasing his victims and the heroes trying to stop him – but with loads of silly humor, role-swapping, and over-the-top chaos!!
