Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors: The Story

An English real estate agent (Jonathan Harker) finds himself in the mountains of Transylvania meeting a new client who is looking to purchase real estate in England. His new client, Count Dracula, is indeed a bit eccentric, but the commission check is too good to ignore. The Count certainly has desires beyond real estate for Harker, and perhaps anyone else whom the Count may think looks particularly delicious.

When the Count decides to move into one of the newly purchased estates in England, he has to travel by ship to get there, but as vampires often do, the Count finds himself ravenous, and you can imagine what happens to the crew. Without a crew, the ship crashes, and the only survivors are the Count and his many coffins of dirt.

Count Dracula has more on his mind than real estate, and Harker’s soon-to-be bride has caught the Count’s attention as well. As you can imagine, this starts up an interesting love triangle, and as we know, love triangles never go smoothly. Now this is where the comedy comes in, a bit in the style of Mel Brooks.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors features a small cast of actors playing multiple roles. The show is a clever blend of physical gags, witty wordplay, and pop-culture references, keeping the audience intellectually stimulated and entertained throughout. 

While the story may seem familiar, the unique twist and the energy of the actors bring added life to this semi-traditional vampire story. The unexpected twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat, making the 90 minutes of hilarity you will experience well worth it.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors may not be suitable for younger audiences, as it contains sexual situations and some violence.
