6. Don’t miss the chance to watch Dracula reimagined: A thrilling, feminist revenge fantasy
If it’s a matter of your survival, can you tell the monster from the man?
Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is at once thrilling and terrifying. You have never seen this Dracula, as it digs deep into the nature of predators and reimagines the story as smart, modern, and unsettling. With a high-octane, action-packed narrative, it comes with a racy soundtrack and sets to perfectly match its vibe.
With Hamill’s signature style, infusing this vampire tale with a post-modern wit, the stake through the heart of toxic masculinity had never felt quite so good.
Where? The Junction, Alserkal Avenue
When? Friday, Saturday, Sunday
