Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors London tickets

About Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors
Bram Stoker’s horror classic gets a comic makeover in this lightning-fast gender-bending reimagining. Starring a Gen Z pansexual Count Dracula in the midst of an existential crisis, this is Dracula as you’ve never seen them before. With a cast of five switching costumes and roles at the drop of a hat, this 90-minute freewheeling send-up plays with sexuality and gender norms in the spirit of comedy legends Charles Ludlam, Monty Python and Mel Brooks – and celebrates goth, camp, and the magic of live theatre itself.
In the treacherous mountains of Transylvania, Jonathan Harker, a meek English estate agent, takes a harrowing journey to meet a new and mysterious client, who happens to be the most terrifying(ly narcissistic) monster the world has ever known: Count Dracula! When the Count sets his sights on Harker’s fiancé, the brilliant young earth scientist Lucy Westfeldt, he meets his match for the first time – as well as a slew of other colorful characters including vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing, insect connoisseur Renfield and behavioral psychiatrist Wallace Westfeldt, whose British country estate doubles as a free-range mental asylum.

Charlie Stemp, James Daly, Safeena Ladha and Dianne Pilkington to star in Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors
London casting has been confirmed for the fangtastic off-Broadway transfer, Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors. And it’s love at first bite.
The critically acclaimed smash-hit comedy gives Bram Stoker’s horror a madcap makeover. Here, Count Dracula is a drop-dead gorgeous Gen Z pansexual in the midst of an existential crisis. Raging with angst, and the uncontrollable urge for blood, (after)life is already pretty hard for Drac. When famed female vampire slayer Jean Van Helsing gets wind of his existence, it goes from bad to worse. It’s a high-stakes game of hide and shriek which spans the lands of Transylvania and London, but who will come out on top?
