Dracula: A Melodrama

Cheer, Boo, Repeat: Why “Dracula: a melodrama” Is Your Next Night Out
If you think you know Dracula, think again. “Dracula: a melodrama” takes Bram Stoker’s immortal Gothic thriller and reimagines it as a live, interactive melodrama—a delicious mash-up of suspense, tongue-in-cheek humor, and earnest drama that begs you to be loud. Yes, loud. This production invites you to cheer for the heroes and boo every dastardly deed as the Count slinks across society, corrupting everything in his wake.

The setup is gloriously simple: an on-script performance conceived specifically for local audiences by Director/Playwright T.S. Forsyth. That format keeps the pace brisk and the wit sharp, while preserving the Gothic atmosphere—think windswept howls and the faint rustle of a cape right before the bite.

The central questions keep hearts pounding: Will flirtatious Lucy Westenra and pure-hearted Mina Murray resist the Count’s hypnotic pull? Can the obsessed Professor Van Helsing outwit the “foul fiend”? And is Renfield a wildcard ally or a chaos machine? Meanwhile, steadfast Jonathan Harker must decide whether love is stronger than fear when Mina’s fate hangs by a thread.

What makes this staging special isn’t just the narrative—it’s the audience energy. Your cheers fortify the heroes; your boos sharpen the villains. You don’t just watch the story; you tilt it. Add in clever comic beats, sudden jolts of suspense, and a few sly nods to classic horror, and you’ve got a night that’s equal parts spine-tingling and crowd-pleasing.

Bring your voice, bring your friends, and bring your best boo. The lone wolf’s howl is your cue—danger’s afoot for creatures of daylight, and you’re the last line of defense.
