Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors opens Friday at convergence-continuum
*Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors* by Gordon Greenberg & Steve Rosen directed by Scott Zolkowski October 3rd - 25th Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire tale and put it into a blender with Mel Brooks, Monty Python, and The 39 Steps? That’s just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud, 90-minute, gender-bending romp. When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed female vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula abounds with clever wordplay and quick-change antics. Five actors play over a dozen roles in this bloodcurdlingly hilarious send-up of the literary classic. Casting is flexible and expandable up to 24 actors. “A brilliant new send-up of Bram Stoker’s gothic horror novel. This hilariously reimagined take, created in the spirit of The 39 Steps, is a lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud comedy.” – Broadway World “Over-the-top and bloody hilarious... a must-see!” – DC Theater Arts “If you’ve been craving a break from the frights of real life, this campy, vampy romp is a scream!” – TimeOut NY “A raucous, 90-minute party in full swing.” – New York Sun “Sexy and campy with non-stop hilarity... I didn’t stop laughing for 90 straight minutes... you don’t want to miss this!” – Forbes *Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors *by Gordon Greenberg & Steve Rosen Thu-Sat at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18-23 general admission ~~~ All performances are held at the Liminis Theater 2438 Scranton Rd.
