Witness Cynthia Erivo's Unmissable Return to the Stage in Dracula

Tony, Grammy and Emmy winner Cynthia Erivo makes her long-awaited return to the stage in Dracula, a visionary new production coming to the Noël Coward Theatre in February 2026. In this radical one-actor adaptation of Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece, Erivo tackles an astonishing 23 roles, from Jonathan Harker and Mina Murray to Van Helsing and Dracula themself. This is no ordinary staging—it’s a theatrical milestone that promises to redefine what the West End can be.

Kip Williams' Cine-Theatre Reimagines the Classic Gothic Tale

Directed and adapted by Tony Award® nominee Kip Williams, Dracula is the culminating chapter in his acclaimed gothic trilogy, following The Picture of Dorian Gray and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Williams’ work, lauded for its cinematic flair and formal innovation, infuses this classic with psychological depth and modern resonance. This haunting retelling blurs the line between fear and desire, questioning the nature of the monster and the self.

Groundbreaking Performance: A Singular Artistic Feat

Fusing live video, pre-recorded film, and a tour-de-force live performance, Dracula extends the boundaries of theatrical storytelling. The production’s hybrid form, coined “cine-theatre,” merges cinema and stagecraft in a deeply immersive format. Erivo’s transformation across two dozen characters delivers a performance that is both intimate and expansive—an exploration of humanity’s darkest corners and fiercest light.

An Award-Winning Creative Team

The production brings together an exceptional creative ensemble, including scenic and costume designer Marg Horwell, lighting by Nick Schlieper, sound design from Jessica Dunn, original score by Clemence Williams, video design from Craig Wilkinson, and dramaturgy by Zahra Newman. The team previously collaborated with Williams on The Picture of Dorian Gray, solidifying their reputation for trailblazing theatrical work.
