Feminist Re-Imagining of Dracula at People's Light, Malvern - Sept 20 to Oct 31

The world premiere of Such Things as Vampires, a "highly theatrical folk-punk twist on the Dracula tale," begins this week at the Steinbright Stage at People's Light in Malvern, PA. Infused with lilting ballads, rock anthems, and melodious love songs, this concert-theatre event is an irreverent, bloody, and wickedly fun retelling of Bram Stoker’s 1897 gothic masterpiece. At the forefront of Such Things as Vampires are The Preventers, a traveling band of musicians who arrive in town with a mysterious mission. They share “The Book of Mina” to ward off an encroaching, malevolent presence. The Book chronicles the great love between two young women, Mina and Lucy, and their encounter with The Beast, Dracula. Performances run from September 21 through October 31.
