Dracula's High-Tech Resurrection:Why Cynthia Erivo's performance at the Noel Coward is being called the most 'technologically daring' production in West End history

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.

All About Love From a Black Medieval Angel

Looking to the Middle Ages for answers to the perennial puzzles of life can seem quaint, even artificial, a long reach across centuries marked by violence, hierarchy, and exclusion. And yet medieval culture offers a way of thinking about love that still speaks to the present. If love is most urgently tested in moments of strain and upheaval, then it is in those moments - where care is stressed or obscured - that its meaning comes most clearly into view.

Does "Wuthering Heights" Herald the Revival of the Film Romance?

The important thing about adaptations isn't what's taken out but what's put in. Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights"-or, as she'd have it, " 'Wuthering Heights,' " complete with scare quotes-is the season's second Frankenstein movie, because Fennell takes bits and pieces from Emily Brontë's novel and, adding much of her own imagining, reassembles them into a misbegotten thing that wants only to be loved. And paying audiences seem to love it, even if many critics don't.
