Dracula meets Hitler, and farce ensues
JS Online: "Two actors, 15 roles, Dracula, Hitler and a parallel universe have been tossed into a blender and served up by In Tandem Theatre as 'Dracula vs. the Nazis.'"

I wonder if this kind of plays will succeed. Maybe it can be included into the theater of the absurd, but it seems to me it´s more likely the case of a writer that mixed his tobacco with “something else”.
Can you imagine what would have happened if one of the characters would have been Mohammed? Perhaps it´s better not to imagine…
I would have to agree. I can really say, that doing text work all the time, and digging into roles, and constantly picking and prodding at a character is exhausting. To top that one though, watching it can be equally as tiring. I think that sometimes we should have these shows that are so over the top that we can just let go, sit back, watch and laugh our heads off.

On occasion theater is allowed to be ridiculous and shallow. Everything can't be meaningful.
I would see this play.
