Key claims in source B
In 2023, this reviewer saw the extraordinarily talented Andrew Scott in his universally praised one-man Chekhov play Vanya.
So, the philistine in me approached the Noël Coward Theatre with trepidation last night, to catch Cynthia Erivo play 23 characters in an interval-free stage adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Quite what a chorus of ever-moving video equipment and giant screens has to do with a story set in 1897, we don’t know, but it upends expectations so completely that it’s borderline cathartic.
(Some 14 people took the final bow, for the record.) It’ll be distracting for some, as it certainly was in last year’s Opening Night, and I’ll admit it took me a while to stop looking for glitches in Dracula.
