Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really

Umbrella Center for the Arts
40 Stow Street Concord

One hundred and twenty five years after its publication, Bram Stoker's Dracula still looms large, thrilled to and interpreted by each generation in turn. And now, Kate Hamill - one of the most produced playwrights in America for 3 years running - sinks her teeth into the seductive tale and its patriarchal take on the modern woman. You're in for a fun, fearless ride when the Count meets his match - and the #MeToo movement - in this fast-paced, theatrical tour de force.

"...Nevertheless, this is, as it has always been, an exciting, gothic tale full of suspense, tension and even a little gore. But the production is also peppered throughout with funny lines and lots of physical action. It's a credit to the company that even with minimal staging, doses of humor and broad social messaging, there are still genuine moments of fright and tension for the audience. There were abundant quick-changes in scene and costume and the show was lively and face-paced."

"...Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really spins the novel by Bram Stoker for a modern audience of thinking minds. Mina Harker (Lisa San Pascual) expects a baby any day now, but her husband Jonathan (Joseph Jude) must assist Count Dracula (Dustin Teuber) with land acquisition. Mina's best friend Lucy Westenra (Gabrielle Hatcher) can't contain her glee at marrying Dr. George Seward (Dominic Carter) but fears she must for George's sake."

"...This wildly uneven cast leaves us with a tedious 2-plus hours of melodramatic moaning, screaming, haughty pronouncements, and blood spatter, and fails to deliver a single moment of real terror, suspense, insight, or humor."
