Comedy of terrors

Ever wondered what would happen if you took Bram Stoker’s tale and put it into a blender with the comedic influences of Mel Brooks, Monty Python and The 39 Steps? Well, in Dracula - A Comedy of Terrors that is just what happens in this lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud 90-minute gender-bending, quick-change magical romp. Milnerton Players are putting on this production from Friday August 16 to Saturday September 7 at the Milnerton Playhouse in Pienaar Road, Milnerton. Shows will start at 8pm during the week with Saturday matinees at 2pm. Tickets cost R140 each, R120 for students and seniors and R100 for members of Milnerton Players. There’s an age restriction of 14, as there are scenes of an adult nature. For more information, contact Beryl Eichenberger at 082 490 6652 or hipzone@mweb.co.za.
