    From the forgotten depths something truly awful is coming.

    Lurking in the shadows is your worst nightmare.

    A parasite,

    a monster,

    a woman.

    OftheJackel in collaboration with Joanna Holden presents

    Countess Dracula

    This is no ordinary adaptation.

    Joanna Holden is getting on. The roles are drying up and so is her skin. After too long in the shadows she’s coming to claim what is hers. One of literatures greatest monsters as you’ve never seen it before.

    Longtime collaborators Joanna Holden and OftheJackel are fusing their significant experience in physical comedy and clown (Cirque De Soleil, Clowns Without Borders... ) with Joanna’s lived experience of the menopause and society’s treatment of ageing women. From this unholy marriage will spring something truly terrifying.  A raucous retelling of Bram Stokers famous tale full of blood rage and humour.
