They Were a Dracula starts with familiar characters from Bram Stoker’s famous novel but quickly tears open the story, as one after the other get turned into vampires. In this scary comedy, Jonathan comes out to Mina as a member of the undead. Mina seduces Lucy, who seduces Van Helsing. Dracula himself is conflicted about drinking blood. Gnashing fangs, spurting blood, song and dance numbers—will anyone survive?
The artists behind They Were a Dracula have all trained in physical theater and clowning. Individually they have made more than one hundred shows. Together they have made only this one.
