Cynthia Erivo Multiplies Dracula on Stage in a High-Concept London Spectacle
Cynthia Erivo stars in a new one-woman Dracula at London’s Noël Coward Theatre, delivering 23 roles via live acting intercut with real-time and prerecorded footage to create multiple Erivos on screen. The show emphasizes mood over gore, featuring stylish design and noir-esque camerawork, but at times veers into schlock and laughter that undercuts menace. While it nods to contemporary themes of race and power, the production largely serves Erivo’s virtuosity rather than deep engagement with the source, making it a spectacle likely to please her fans through May 30.
