The Laboratory Theater of Florida presents the SWFL premiere of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

FORT MYERS, FL (September 16, 2024) – The Laboratory Theater of Florida will present the southwest Florida premiere of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors by Gordon Greenberg and Steve Rosen.

“Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” is an uproarious blend of classic horror and side-splitting humor. This comedic adaptation breathes new life into Bram Stoker’s iconic novel, delivering an unforgettable theatrical experience that will leave you howling with laughter. Join the fearless Van Helsing, the bumbling Jonathan Harker, and a cast of eccentric characters as they confront the ultimate vampire himself, Count Dracula, in a battle of wits and whimsy. With clever dialogue, ingenious sight gags, and plenty of surprises lurking in the shadows, “Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” is a fang-tastic romp that’s perfect for fans of comedy and horror alike.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is directed by Heather Johnson and features Steven Coe as Dracula, Katherine Taylor as Dr. Westfeldt and others, Anghela Chavez as Lucy and others, Christian Rivero as Mina and others, and Liam Tritaik as Harker and others.

Artistic Director Annette Trossbach adds,”Dracula A Comedy of Terrors lives in the same vein as The Mystery of Irma Vep and The 39 Steps. Just right for the Halloween season, this oversexed Dracula will bite anything that moves, with hilarious results. Get ready to sink your teeth into the SWFL premiere of this twisted take on a timeless tale of terror.”

“Sexy and campy with non-stop hilarity… I didn’t stop laughing for 90 straight minutes… you don’t want to miss this!” – Forbes

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors is sponsored by The Bireley Family Foundation.
