Casting is now complete for the U.K. premiere of Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen's Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors, the comic, gender-bending reimagining of Bram Stoker's horror classic that will make its U.K. premiere in March at the Menier Chocolate Factory.

Also directed by Greenberg, previews will begin March 8 prior to an official opening March 17 for a limited engagement through May 3.

As previously reported, the cast will be led by James Daly, reprising the role of Dracula he played Off-Broadway, joined by Safeena Ladha as Lucy Westfeldt, Dianne Pilkington as Dr. Westfeldt, and Charlie Stemp as Jonathan Harker.

Completing the company is the newly announced Sebastien Torkia, who will play the roles of Mina Westfeldt and Van Helsing.

Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors features a Gen Z pansexual Count Dracula in the midst of an existential crisis. The 90-minute comedy is set in Transylvania, where Jonathan Harker, a meek English estate agent, journeys to meet a new and mysterious client: Count Dracula. When the Count sets his sights on Harker’s fiancé, earth scientist Lucy Westfeldt, he meets his match for the first time—as well as a slew of other colorful characters.

The upcoming production will also have set design by Tijana Bjelajac, costume design by Tristan Raines, lighting design by Ben Cracknell, and sound design by Yvonne Gilbert.

The Monty Python-style send-up of the Stoker work concluded a limited engagement at Off-Broadway's New World Stages in January 2024

The Menier Chocolate Factory produces in association with Drew & Dane Productions. Click here for more information.
