Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

**January 19 through February 20, 2027**. Sink your teeth into the funniest, campiest night of theater in Key West as the Red Barn Theatre presents Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen! Winner of Best Off-Broadway Play and a Lucille Lortel nominee, this over-the-top, gender-bending romp is a fang-tastic high-camp spoof that BroadwayWorld hailed as a brilliant send-up and a hilariously reimagined take on the vampire classic.
Picture a masterful mash-up of Bram Stoker, Mel Brooks, and Monty Python, and you are halfway to the madcap fun of this show. The story follows two sisters, one of whom has come down with a mysterious "disease of the blood," who enlist the legendary vampire hunter Van Helsing to track down the dangerous and irresistibly sexy Count Dracula. Their hunt spirals into a whirlwind of clever wordplay, quick-change antics, and blood-curdling laughs at every turn.
Directed by Mimi McDonald, the production stars a fearless ensemble, Susannah Wells, Erin McKenna, Phillip Cole White, Jody Orrigo, and Dominic Paolillo, each playing a whole cast of characters as the story careens along. As McDonald puts it, it is a wild, fun, unpredictable show, powered by lightning-fast costume changes and razor-sharp comic timing.
Fast-paced, sexy, silly, and gloriously theatrical, Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is bloody good fun for anyone who loves to laugh. Whether you are a horror-comedy buff or just in the mood for a deliriously entertaining night out in Old Town, this one is not to be missed. Grab your tickets and get ready to howl!
