Dracula!

We all know the terrifying story of Prince Dracula. A lot of novels and short stories have been written about him, dozens of films have been shot. As the years went by, he became a cult figure, the cruelest of ghouls, the most romantic of lovers and the protagonist of thousands of memes...

What if we reveal that this most famous vampire has endured years of persecution and is hiding... in a theater?

Many years after the founding of the Theater: Transylvania, the unrecognizable and authentic and immortal Prince Dracula, as its director and sole director, decides once and for all to deal with the dark history of his family and stage a musical about himself, with himself in the lead role. But how to make it to the premiere when the entire theater team is unfulfilled acting and starving vampires, and an unsuspecting, full of expectations and fresh-blooded, talented young actor is hired for the important role of Jonathan Harker? The ambitious but explosive director-director faces a battle with his own demons, murderous team pressure and an insatiable hunger... for fame.

We invite you to an alternative, comedy, and at the same time full-blooded musical version of a well-known dark legend, in which the acting industry can suck a person as hard as a pack of bloodthirsty vampires. When the boundaries of professionalism are crossed in the search for acting truth and immortality, innocent blood can flow in streams...

The action of the play is set in the late sixties of the last century. It was then that Ryszard Marek Groński and Antonia Marianowicz wrote the libretto of the musical, which was soon considered lost. Only now, after finding the full version by Artur Andrus in the cavernous catacombs of Pavlac Maria Czubaszek (supposedly also a vampire), after nearly seventy years, the musical “Dracula!” It will finally have its theatrical premiere.

Adapted and refreshed by poet and satirist Andrzej Poniedzielski and director Jakub Szydłowski, it returns to the Spectators of the Polish Theatre in Szczecin with original music by the esteemed and outstanding Polish jazzman Wojciech Karolak. The musical direction was undertaken by the well-known composer and arranger Janusz Stokłosa.

In order to happily make it to the final scene of the show, viewers are asked to remain cold-blooded. If desired, garlic and osin stakes are provided by the Office of Audience Organization.
