Across stage and screen, Dracula has been endlessly reimagined, but this bold new Dracula play London audiences can now experience offers something strikingly different — a thrilling one-woman performance led by Cynthia Erivo. Adapted and directed by visionary theatre-maker Kip Williams, this strictly limited West End run has drawn praise for its “mesmerising theatrical invention” and “electrifying central performance.” Playing at the Noel Coward Theatre, this Dracula play delivers a fresh and ultra-modern take on the gothic classic.
In this haunting retelling, Count Dracula emerges from centuries of isolation, setting his sights on new victims as obsession, desire, and fear intertwine. As the story unfolds, familiar characters collide with an unstoppable force that blurs the line between seduction and terror. This Dracula West End production will appeal to fans of psychological drama, gothic storytelling, and inventive theatre-making, as well as audiences looking for a bold new interpretation of one of literature’s most enduring horror stories.
This reimagining of Dracula transforms the classic tale into a theatrical event unlike any other, with Cynthia Erivo performing all 23 roles in a technically ambitious and emotionally charged production. A celebrated West End performer, Erivo previously starred in The Colour Purple and A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and many audiences will recognise her as Elphaba in the recent Wicked film franchise. A three-time Oscar nominee and winner of a Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award, she brings extraordinary range and intensity to this Dracula play, redefining the iconic character through a modern, cinematic theatrical style that pushes storytelling into thrilling new territory.
Adapted and Directed by: Kip Williams Original novel by: Bram Stoker Production originally staged by: Sydney Theatre Company Creative team behind The Picture of Dorian Gray
