There are so many good things about the production--lighting, music, atmosphere, interaction, immersive elements--that the flaws are quite stark in comparison. I feel that some great opportunities for exploration of feminine power, sexuality, authority, and creation (creating another vampire like you as a metaphor for childbirth) were left lying on the table. There's a lot of potential. ... full review

Strong vision from the team at CADAME CO. Watch this show!... full review

A rethink of the Dracula tale, this show defies description. Part mildly interactive immersive theater piece, part heavy drama, part dance performance, a strong cast energetically throws themselves into the material (sometimes literally) and produces a sad tale of a woman who rose from tragedy to become a monster. Catch that detail? Dracula is a woman in this version, and it adds a level of gender politics to the piece that never is pointed to heavily, simply enhances the proceedings. This piece places you in the center of the action. Dramatic encounters take place inches from the audience, sometimes even overflowing into it. At times intimidating, at times enthralling, this experimental staging, for me, increased the intensity of the show... full review

I really enjoyed this production from beginning to end. Totally engaged and entertained throughout. ... full review

A masterstroke of immersive theater that quickly became one of my favorite plays of the Fringe. Detailed, creative, spooky, fun and imaginative this is one show not to miss!... full review

Dracula is a tale told many times over and in the 120 years since Bram Stoker had written it, there have been many variations on it. “The Rise and Fall of Dracula” is one of these variations. In the version, there is no Count Dracula, but a Madame Dracula. It’s a lesson to people that need to understand how gender means nothing when it comes to such an iconic name and legend. The show has it all…love, violence, blood, betrayal, etc. The stand out for me is the violence because of the fighting. The fight scenes, taking place in such a small area, with no audience member getting accidentally touched, were so impressive. There were beautiful moments with a tinge of darkness as well within this show.... full review

What a wonderful show to introduce us to the immersive theater experience. See our full review at Indie Voice Blog.... full review

Loved this show!! I was totally surprised by the roaming theater way of telling this story, but I think it will very well into the space and I enjoyed that very much. The theater space was pretty perfect. I liked the actors, the clothing, the way they told the story. I liked the TWIST on the classic story, won't say what it is because I don't want to create spoilers. The cast did a great job. The music was great. overall enjoyed it very much! Was also surprised by how PHYSICAL the show was. Didn't anticipate it.... full review
