Dracula, A Comedy of Terrors is a comedy play written by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen set in October of 1897, and very loosely based on Dracula by Bram Stoker. The play is set in Whitby, but starts in the depths of Transylvania. Like the original, this is heavily inspired by its epistolary novel nature, with most scenes starting with a diary entry or letter.
Characters
editThis play script was originally designed for five actors to play all the characters; but the 2023 Off-Broadway Cast on the New World Stages[1][2][3] used more.
Main characters:
- Count Dracula, a sex-driven, narcassistic vampire from Transylvania, obsessed with Lucy.
- Jonathan Harker, a cowardly real estate agent who is engaged with Lucy, but once bitten becomes fearless.
- Lucy Westfeldt, based on Mina Murray/Harker, a young courageous women to be engaged to Jonathan.
- Mina Westfeldt, based on Lucy Westenra, Lucy's unattractive sister.
- Dr. Wallace Westfeldt, based on John Seward, father of the two girls, very misogynistic towards Dr. Van Helsing.
- Dr. Jean Van Helsing, based on Abraham Van Helsing, a deadly serious doctor from Germany, strong, smart, and bold.
- Renfield, insane patient of Dr. Westfeldt, who lives to serve and loves to eat bugs.
- Kitty Rutherford, another patient, she has kelptomania, stealing things whilst working as a maid for Dr. Westfeld.
Lucy's former suitors:
- Lord Cavendish, has a scottish accent.
- Lord Worthington, has a posh British accent.
- Lord Havemercy, has a strong Texas accent.
Other characters:
- Driver, Transylvanian carriage driver of Harker.
- Captain, salty captain of a doomed ship in a raging storm.
- Bosun, a scurvy seaman who goes down with the ship.
- Gravedigger, a drunkard with a cockney accent.
Plot
editPrologue
editActors 1, 2, 3, and 4 enter stage, each holding a book. In the style of the opening of James Whale's 1931 film Frankenstein. This just gives the audience an insight that this will be a comedy, and very untraditional. (Please write rest.)
