Up at Bat at the Chester Theatre Group!

 

We're going batty this Halloween!     By Kate Hamill Directed by Rachel Friden   October 26th to November 10th   In Kate Hamill’s wickedly clever new adaptation of Dracula, the playwright sinks her teeth into the sexism of Bram Stoker’s original, flipping it into a savage feminist revenge fantasy. With a badass, stake-wielding female Van Helsing and a delightfully deranged Mrs. Renfield lurking in the shadows, this version isn't just here to slay vampires—it's here to slay the patriarchy, too.   Reviews from past productions   Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill's imaginative, gender-bending "feminist revenge fantasy" is like no Dracula you've ever seen-exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. BroadwayWorld   Dracula may not be subtle—but it is satisfying to see these ladies kick ass while rebelling against the subservient roles that so many stories want to cast them in. Time Out New York   This is the kind of horror I could watch all day!
