CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - For its second production of the 2023-2024 season, TheatreUNI will present “Dracula: a Feminist Revenge Fantasy'' written by Kate Hamill and based on the novel by Bram Stoker.

Kate Hamill, well-known for her contemporary theatrical adaptations of classic literature, boldly reimagines the world’s most famous vampire story from a feminist point of view. Tables are turned and roles reversed as the heroines of this play plunge a wooden stake into the heart of the patriarchy itself.
