The Story

The Truth About Transylvania is a bold contemporary reimagining of the iconic Dracula story. Gothic feminist playwright Patricia Lynn has transformed the classic monster tale into a sharp and lyrical memory play, featuring heightened language in a twenty-first century setting.

​

After narrowly surviving his trip to Transylvania, John Harker vows to speak out and prove to the world that Count Dracula is very real. But as John recounts his strange story to the world, his inquisive wife Millie can't help questioning the validity of his claims. Can John prove to everyone—including the person he loves the most—that he is telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...before the infamous monster strikes again?

The Truth About Transylvania was developed at the 2024 Rogue Theater Festival in New York City, under its former title Transylvania or The Weekend After Dracula Died.
