When Cynthia Erivo steps onto the Noel Coward Theatre stage on February 4th, she won't just be playing Dracula. She'll be playing Jonathan Harker, Mina Murray, Lucy Westenra, Van Helsing, and nineteen other characters from Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece. All in one night. All by herself. The ambition alone would be noteworthy, but director Kip Williams has engineered something more extraordinary. The appeal reaches audiences of all ages seeking immersive spectacle, all drawn by the promise of technology serving storytelling rather than overshadowing it.
Being a fly on the wall should come naturally to your average private-eye. But being a literal wall-crawler? That's something new.
