  • October 16-18 at 7:30 p.m., October 19 at 2 p.m.
    Written by Kate Hamill
    Based on the novel by Bram Stoker
    Directed by Mark Sutch
    Scenic Design by Dolph Orthwein '26
    Plays in the Barber Theatre

    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.

    Please be advised that this production contains simulated acts of violence onstage and considerable gore. Suitable for ages 14 and up.
