During the season of Halloween, watch a dark tale about Dracula.... acted out with puppets!  The same folks who bring you Drunk Puppet Night now bring you the harrowing tale of what happened to the most famous vampire's survivors in Dracula:  A Case Study:

A handful of survivors from Bram Stoker's original tale have been locked up in Dr. John Seward's insane asylum, their minds having proved too fragile to withstand Dracula's terror. Dr. Seward has developed a fascinating new therapy to restore his tortured patients to sanity. They are using puppets to relive the events of the novel and to reach an understanding of what REALLY happened when they fell under Dracula's evil spell.

This show is produced by the professional puppeteers at Monkey Wrench Puppet Lab, who have:

made a reputation for themselves as Seattle’s most creative, most courageous and most disturbing puppeteers, dedicated to creating ridiculous, inappropriate and artistically excellent puppet plays and events.

Ridiculous and inappropriate puppet plays?  The concept is so wonderfully bizarre that I cannot imagine why anyone would not want to experience it.  Unless you are afraid of puppets.  Then, probably, don't go see the scary vampire puppet show.


Dracula:  A Case Study  plays October 11 - November 3 at Theater off Jackson (in the International District), Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm.  Halloween Show on Wednesday, October 31, at 8pm.  Tickets are $15.  Thursday, October 18 is Pay-What-You-Can Night.
