About Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors
Don’t miss the campy gender-bending comedy, Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors in its UK premiere at Menier Chocolate Factory. Book Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors tickets on TodayTix.
This fast-paced production has five exceptional actors who quickly shift between costumes and roles. Led by James Daly (Wendy and Peter Pan), who is returning to the role of Dracula after originating the role Off-Broadway, the cast also includes Safeena Ladha (The Great Gatsby), Dianne Pilkington (The Wizard of Oz), Charlie Stemp (Kiss Me, Kate), and Sebastien Torkia (La Cage Aux Folles).
Together, the cast transports audiences to the hazardous Transylvania mountains, where an English real estate agent traverses the dangerous terrain to meet a new mysterious client who happens to be Count Dracula. While the goth and comedic show is inspired by Bram Stoker’s horror classic, the production transforms Dracula into a Gen Z pansexual in the midst of an existential crisis.

More information about Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a play that ran Off-Broadway in 2023 and 2024, and it was a hit with audiences and critics alike. As the New York Stage Review said, "No amount of description can convey the delights of this ingenious rejiggering. You may gasp, you may marvel, but mostly you'll be too busy laughing — thanks to all the artistry brought into play."
The play is by the writing duo of Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen (Crime and Punishment, A Comedy). "In re-reading Dracula, we were surprised and intrigued by the boldness with which Stoker, a closeted gay man in Victorian England, plays with sexuality and gender norms," Greenberg said in a statement.
Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors in London, has a talented creative team that includes Gordon Greenberg's direction, Tijana Bjelajac's set design (Fiddler on the Roof), Tristan Raines's costume design (Jump), Ben Cracknell's lighting design (The Addams Family), and Yvonne Gilbert's sound design (Mother Goose).
