When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.
DOCTOR VAN HELSING — 40s+. American. A female vampire hunter. She takes no crap from anybody. She is badass – and 19th century men do not, as a rule, appreciate it.
MINA HARKER — 20s-30s. Very smart. Caring. Loyal. Wants to do the right thing.
LUCY WESTENRA — 20s-30s. Bright, funny, vivacious, playful, and mischievous.
MARILLA — 20s-30s. A vampire. More animal than human.
DRUSILLA — 20s-30s. A vampire. More animal than human.
MERCHANT – A merchant looking to make a sale.
RENFIELD — Any age. A madwoman. Worships Dracula. Believes that if she can earn his approval, she will be free.
DRACULA — Late 30s – late 50s. A physically imposing man. He is…. extremely confident. Strong. Funny. Charming. Sexy. You’d like him, reader – no, really, you would.
JONATHAN HARKER — 20s-40s. A nice man. A truly decent man. A lawyer; a man of letters; a slight man; a slightly fussy man. If being unkind, one could say he’s delicate.
DOCTOR GEORGE SEWARD — 30s – 40s. The head physician of a lunatic asylum.
