Dracula (Annotated): an in-process reading of theatre dybbuk's latest work

Get a sneak peak at theatre dybbuk's next project!

In "Dracula (Annotated)" the company investigates Bram Stoker’s famous tale of a Transylvanian vampire who invades England, weaving together their unique blend of historical investigation and heightened theatricality to create a new work from the core of the novel. 

The project, set to premiere in Los Angeles in September 2025, explores such questions as: How do long-held prejudicial beliefs show up in a popular novel from England written at the turn of the 20th century, and in what ways do those beliefs still operate today? To what extent can perceptions of antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia be deemed as accurate and true, and how much is in the eye of the beholder?

This is the second in a series of “Annotated” productions in which theatre dybbuk explodes and explores classic or well-known and culturally influential works to disrupt more familiar or comfortable ways of engaging with them.

This event includes approximately 75 minutes of performed readings from the in-process work and will be followed by a discussion with the audience.

theatre dybbuk is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture.
