by Kate Hamill
Directed by Michael Mufson

When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-defying “feminist revenge fantsy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen. Bouncing between horror and humor, Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s seminal novel is a darkly comic thriller that questions whot the true monsters are. Fierce, feminist, and frightening, Dracula is a revenge fantasy worth sinking your teeth into!
