Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors‘ Speaker: Charles Bramesco, Critic & Author
Monstrous, seductive, hilarious — though initially conceived by Bram Stoker as a horror icon to haunt our nightmares, Dracula has assumed many forms over more than a century of homage and parody. Along with ICTC and noted vampire scholar, Charles Bramesco, sink your teeth into the history and significance of fiction’s most famous bloodsucker, a suave Transylvanian count who still embodies humanity’s deepest fears and desires. From literary origins to onscreen celebrity, from the castles of Eastern Europe to every corner of the globe, a horde of Draculas has captivated the public imagination. Come find out why — and watch your neck!
- 1:30pm – Charles Bramesco will give a 15-minute Dramaturgy presentation prior to the show.
- 2:00pm – Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors matinee performance (approximately 90 minutes, with no intermission).
- Post-show – There will be a 15-minute Talk Back session between the Guest Speaker, select cast members, and the audience.
