This digitally staged production was produced in lieu of a full-scale production, which was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nosferatu, The Vampyr, is a subversion of a tale known all too well, delving into the queerness of horrors of then and now, told through drama, song, film, riddle, and lip-sync. This rendition of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and F.W. Murnau’s film follows Harker and Will as they navigate love, plague, and sacrifice, all while the paranoia sets in.
"Not all streamed theatre content is worth viewing. Nosferatu is."
