Anyone experiencing Erivo’s Dracula without preconceptions or comparisons will be sucked in.
This is a more straightforward piece of storytelling than Williams’s 2024 solo version of The Picture of Dorian Gray with Sarah Snook, where camera filters critiqued contemporary obsessions with image.
Still this marks a bravura return to the stage for a performer who’s gone from Stockwell to winning a Tony, Emmy and two Grammys (plus two Oscar nominations) in 15 years.
Key claims in source B
The Australian writer-director Kip Williams was behind 2024’s hit West End staging of “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, said Dominic Cavendish in The Daily Telegraph.
Now he is back with a “radical” “Dracula”, in which the British film star Cynthia Erivo plays all 23 characters.
Starring the “Succession” actress Sarah Snook, who played all the parts, Williams used “head-turning live-capture wizardry”, giant screens and pre-filmed sections to mesmeric effect.
It’s not “flawless” – not quite as frightening as you’d hope – but it’s a “tour de force” even so.
