theatre dybbuk and the Museum of Jewish Montreal (MJM) proudly present the inaugurual Canadian performance of Dracula (Annotated), based on Bram Stoker's classic novel.

How do long-held prejudicial beliefs show up in a popular novel from England written at the turn of the 20th century, and in what ways do those beliefs still operate today? To what extent can perceptions of antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia be deemed as accurate and true, and how much is in the eye of the beholder?

In theatre dybbuk’s next project, the company investigates Bram Stoker’s Dracula, weaving together its unique blend of historical investigation and heightened theatricality to create a new work from the core of the novel. This is the second in a series of “Annotated” productions in which the company explores classic or well-known and culturally influential works to disrupt more familiar or comfortable ways of engaging with them.

Doors at 6:30pm. Performance at 7:00pm.

Tickets are $18 for general admission, or $12 for students. Bundled tickets for theatre dybbuk's other seated performance at the Museum of Jewish Montreal, The Merchant of Venice (Annotated) are also available at the reduced rates of $30 for general admission, or $20 for students. If ticket cost is a barrier to entry, please contact info@imjm.ca. Seating available on a first come, first served basis.

This will be a seated reading of the script, with a run time of approximately 90 minutes, followed by a 30-minute discussion following the reading. Following the discussion, the audience is invited to speak more with the ensemble about this work in-process, and to enjoy some refreshments from our bar (payable by card only).

Accessibility: Please note that our building is currently not accessible to visitors with limited mobility. This performance will take place on the ground level.
