Sink your teeth into these first look photos of the UK premiere of Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors!

Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen’s stage adaptation offers a humorous take on Bram Stoker’s iconic horror novel.

Greenberg, who returns to the Menier Chocolate Factory following his previous productions of The Baker’s Wife and Barnum, directs. The show runs until 3 May 205, with an official opening set for 17 March.

Set in Transylvania, the story follows Jonathan Harker, a timid English estate agent, who travels to meet his new client, Count Dracula. The Count, however, turns out to be not only a vampire but a narcissistic figure struggling with an existential crisis.

This 90-minute production is designed to be fast-paced and genre-bending, with a cast of five performers who will switch between multiple roles throughout the show.

Starring are James Daly (reprising the role of Dracula), Safeena Ladha (Lucy Westfeldt), Dianne Pilkington (Dr Westfeldt), WhatsOnStage Award winner Charlie Stemp (Jonathan Harker), and Sebastien Torkia (Mina Westfeldt and Van Helsing).

Set design is by Tijana Bjelajac, with costume design by Tristan Raines, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, and sound design by Yvonne Gilbert.

Tickets are on sale below.
