by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen
Directed by Lester Mayers
This is a comedy you can really sink your teeth into. Filled with clever wordplay and anything-goes pop culture references, it’s a 90-minute, gender-bending, quick-changing, laugh-out-loud reimagining of the gothic classic. In the treacherous mountains of Transylvania, a meek English real estate agent takes a harrowing journey to meet a new and mysterious client, who just happens to be the most terrifying and ferocious monster the world has ever known. As famed female vampire hunter Jean Van Helsing and company chase Drac from Transylvania to the British countryside to London and back, their antics are guaranteed to increase your pulse and cause blood curdling screams of laughter.
Content Warning: This production includes the use of haze, strobe lights, as well as depictions of blood, violence, sexual aggression, and supernatural horror, which may be disturbing for some audiences.
