a new play by David Hansen

This world premiere one-act drama explores the evolution of the classic vampire myth.

“Hansen -- who, in addition to being a pretty good playwright and actor, is also something of a Nosferatu-phile -- traces a vampire's journey through the decades by linking and lovingly lampooning the stories of Polidori, Stoker, Rice and Meyer. The result, far from being a typically "educational" night in the theater, is hysterical, campy fun.”
- Tony Brown, The Plain Dealer

Welcome to my website. I am a playwright and theater educator living in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

My work as a playwright merges personal narrative with historical fiction, transforming daily life into myth and bringing great events to an intimate level.

It is my belief that drama should not merely raise important questions, but offer answers on how better to live this life.
