Synopsis
from the novel by Bram Stoker THE STORY: This abridged adaptation restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel to the stage.
As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate.
Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.
Press Reviews
"Truly haunting and mesmerizing…” — Los Angeles Times. “Playwright Steven Dietz’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel is a faithful but streamlined version of the overheated original…It is a refined, grown-up drama. Sinister, seductive and alluring, this is a Dracula that is heartbreaking, heart-pounding and sizzlingly erotic.” — Cincinnati Enquirer. “Steven Dietz’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel is rock-solid, bringing the story to life with a rhythm, sensuality, and lyrical ferocity…"
— Austin Chronicle
