TAMPA, Fla. — Keaton Miller plays the immortal character Dracula at the Straz Center.
The Straz is producing Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors. It’s a story of the Transylvanian immortal falling in love after an eternity of nothingness.
‘’I think what’s super fun is it takes the original character and flips it on his head,” said Miller.
It is a love story, and Drac gives himself a lot of said love as he basks in his smoking jacket and matching shoes.
For Miller, reinterpreting the undead bloodsucker calls for discipline. When he commits to the character and acts like he believes his outrageous behavior is absolutely okay, Miller says this draws laughs.
Because being funny is serious business.
“Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors” is playing on select dates through Oct. 26.
