Overview

  • Cynthia Erivo will return to the stage for the first time since 2017, leading a one-woman adaptation of 'Dracula' at London’s Noël Coward Theatre.
  • The production, directed and adapted by Kip Williams, will feature Erivo portraying 23 characters using a cine-theatre format that blends live and pre-recorded video.
  • The West End version is distinct from the Sydney premiere, allowing Erivo and the creative team to develop a bespoke staging during rehearsals later this year.
  • The play includes one original song composed by Clemence Williams, emphasizing a modern psychological interpretation of Bram Stoker’s classic novel.
  • This 16-week limited engagement, co-produced by Michael Cassel Group and Adam Kenwright, is scheduled to run from February 4 to May 31, 2026.
