Dracula

A magnificent combination of cutting-edge technology, visionary storytelling and herculean acting.

2 Jul - 4 Aug 2024

Roslyn Packer Theatre

The Play

DRACULA

By Bram Stoker
Adapted and directed by Kip Williams

A gothic masterpiece reimagined

First came The Picture of Dorian Gray. Then Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Now comes the final and most ambitious part of Kip Williams’ already-legendary Gothic trilogy, and with it – one of the most iconic figures in world literature: the prince of darkness, Count Dracula.

Williams reunites with Designer Marg Horwell and Lighting Designer Nick Schlieper to bring you this riveting study of the monster within. Starring the award-winning Zahra Newman (Fences, Julius Caesar) performing every single role, this sweeping, legendary adventure will combine live video, pre-recorded film and a superhuman live performance in the latest iteration of the hybrid-genre ‘cine-theatre’.

In a ruined castle, high in the Transylvanian wilderness, a mysterious presence is lurking. Is it man or beast? Angel or demon? For centuries, Count Dracula has held his remote corner of the world in a vice grip of terror. But evil is on the move and the residents of Victorian London will soon fall under its bewitching, transformative spell.

Experience the paragon of horror stories anew in this radical and stupendous combination of cutting-edge technology, exquisite design, herculean acting, and visionary storytelling. This will be an unmissable night of theatre and the final piece in one of the most innovative theatrical feats in recent history.

Approx. duration 2 hrs (no interval). Subject to change.
Content Adult themes and descriptions of violence. Subject to change.
