Dracula
A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really
October 30-November 1, 2025
The Avalon Theatre
Overview
By Kate Hamill
Directed by Iz Clemens
When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen — exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires — driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.
