Dracula (CSC)

See it if for Matthew Amendt as a wildly magnetic Dracula. Gr costumes, strg acting, annoying curtain. Dark parts thrill/chill. Lapine is a genius.

Don't see it if you get nightmares. Or want a tight script (needs cuts as of 1st prevw: 2.5 hrs) Some humor misses. Sightlines iffy. Staging/acting dazzle.

See it if You're intersted in Dracula told through a modern feminist lens. I really loved this adaptation, very fun. Felt like watching a mini series.

Don't see it if You dislike darker stories or not interested in the story of Dracula.

See it if Hamill's script has witty moments in her attempt to find contemporary resonance in the classic. The cast works hard with what they're given.

Don't see it if it's overlong; many of the satiric, anachronistic bits don't land. The tone is inconsistent - should we be scared? amused? angry at the

See it if You enjoy new interpretations of oft repeated tales,. Just to have a good time

Don't see it if You are looking for something dark or romantic or traditional

Also Kate Hamill writes & acts as is often the case. She has tons of fun with this interpretation - lots of laughs, a few cliches but also some great insights

She also makes a great Renfield

MATTHEW AMENDT is fantastic as Dracula.

Fun but simple staging

Loved the costumes
