Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors Reviews

MetroWeekly- Recommended

"...Dracula gains a good boost from Klavans’ entrance midway as an unflappably droll Van Helsing, the vampire hunter with just the right expertise to take on this creature of the night. She’s also just in time to bring home Greenberg and Rosen’s enjoyable remix of one of English literature’s most repurposed legends."

Washington City Paper- Recommended

"...In format, A Comedy of Terrors recalls Patrick Barlow’s The 39 Steps, a parody of the eponymous Alfred HItchcock film and various others that Constellation did six years ago, in the sense that a large number of roles are shared among just a handful of players, swapping costumes, wigs, and accents at dizzying speed. While Israel sticks to the one part and Harper mostly does, too, the other three cast members get to live it up."

MD Theatre Guide- Recommended

"...While it may be cold as a crypt outside, it's nice and steamy at Constellation Theatre's "Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors." This inventive retelling of Bram Stoker's Dracula spins what we know about our fanged friend on its head (just the way Dracula likes it). Written by Gordon Greenberg and Steven Rosen, this laugh-out-loud, campy tale is sure to warm even the undead."

K Street Magazine- Highly Recommended

"...“Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors,” now stalking the Atlas Theatre District, takes Bram Stoker’s famously foggy folklore and flips it into something frighteningly funny; a brisk, bawdy romp that knows exactly when to bare its fangs and when to flash a wink."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...Director Nick Martin has a way with actors, a capacity for nonstop, wildly original movement, and an instinct for hilarity that enhances every aspect of the production. There are, at different times: a conga line, Dracula dancing with a puppet representing Mina, and an ill-timed but heartfelt rendition of "God Save the Queen.""
