Dracula: A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really
By Kate Hamill
A bold and inventive reimagining of the classic gothic tale, Dracula transforms Bram Stoker’s story into a thrilling, fast-paced exploration of power, gender, and survival. With humor, theatricality, and a fierce feminist lens, this adaptation centers the voices of the women who refuse to be victims, and instead become the architects of their own fate.
More than an adaptation, this production invites students to examine how classic texts can be reinterpreted to challenge dominant narratives, asking who holds power in a story, who is silenced, and what happens when new voices take control.
