Breakdown

DRACULA, A COMEDY OF TERRORS

SEEKING:

TRACK ONE

(Harker/Cavendish/Worthington/Havemercy/Bosun/Gravedigger) Male-identifying. 25-35. Any ethnicity. Adept with physical comedy and accents. Doubles the following characters:

• JONATHAN HARKER – RP British dialect. Prim and proper and obsessive-compulsive real estate agent, frightened of his own shadow. Engaged to his childhood crush, Lucy Westfeldt, and enamored of her fearlessness. Once bitten, he loosens up…a lot… and becomes a Tom Jones-style rock star in leather pants.
• LORD CAVENDISH – Scottish dialect. Lucy’s suitor; a Scottish dolt.
• LORD WORTHINGTON – RP British dialect. Lucy’s suitor; posh, British, and petulant.
• LORD HAVEMERCY – Texas Accent. Lucy’s arrogant suitor from Memphis, a la Yosemite Sam.
• BOSUN – Irish dialect. A scurvy seaman who goes down with the ship in a storm.
• GRAVEDIGGER – Cockney dialect. A drunk gravedigger with a secret.

TRACK TWO

(Dr. Westfeld/Renfield/Captain) Female-identifying, trans, queer or gender non-conforming. 40-55. Any ethnicity. Adept with physical comedy and accents. Doubles the following characters:

• DR. WALLACE WESTFELDT – RP British dialect. Lucy and Mina’s father, a blowhard; self-important misogynist given to proclamations and posturing with his pipe. A doctor caring for the criminally insane, he has recently lost his wife to consumption.
• RENFIELD – Cockney dialect and salivary issues. Insane patient of Dr. Westfeldt who lives to serve and loves to eat bugs. In a word, the dude is nuts.
• CAPTAIN – Sea Captain dialect. The salty captain of a doomed ship caught in a raging storm.

TRACK THREE

(Lucy/Kitty/Driver) Female-identifying, trans, queer, or gender non-conforming. 40-55. Any ethnicity. Adept with physical comedy and accents. Doubles the following characters:

• LUCY WESTFELDT – RP British dialect. Brilliant, plucky earth scientist daughter of Dr. Westfeldt; full of energy and the spirit of adventure and often underestimated because of her beauty. Engaged to Jonathan, but curious about Dracula’s strange ways when he moves to Whitby.
• KITTY RUTHERFORD – Cockney dialect. A dotty kleptomaniac patient of Dr. Westfeldt, she serves as a maid in his house.
• DRIVER – Eastern European or Russian dialect. The male, Transylvanian driver of the carriage carrying Jonathan to Dracula’s castle who tries to warn him.

TRACK FOUR

(Mina/Van Helsing) Male-identifying. Adept with physical comedy and accents. 25-35. Any ethnicity. Doubles the following characters:

• MINA WESTFELDT – RP British dialect. The less attractive, less intelligent Westfeldt daughter, she lives in her sister Lucy’s shadow and is desperate for attention. Immediately receptive to Dracula’s charms.
• DR. VAN HELSING – German dialect a la Mel Brooks. Brilliant and sturdy German vampire-hunting doctor, accustomed to people not believing she is real.

TRACK FIVE

(Dracula) Male-identifying. Adept with physical comedy and accents. Extremely physically fit with an imposing presence. Uses his sexuality to get what he wants. 25-35. Any ethnicity. Doubles the following character:

• COUNT DRACULA – Commanding European dialect. Hugely sexy, magnetically handsome with a killer body, a narcissist whose greatest love is himself – and his leather pants. Obsessed with Lucy when he hears of her strength and adventurousness.
