Synopsis

Hall, Bob And David Richmond, Passion Of Dracula, The: A Drama In Three Acts

Press Reviews

"Part melodrama, part sendup, with a soupcon of camp."

— Chicago Daily Herald

"An entertaining take on the blood sucking Count."

— Chicago Stage Review

"A Dracula with just the right flavor... All the original, blood-curdling ingredients are in place, but like good cooks, Hall and Richmond have added some spice and an extra tasty dollop of vampire-repellent garlic. Some healthy laughs bolster interest, as do some romantic pairings, not only between the normal folks but also the Count and the heroine, which is why this is rightly called The Passion of Dracula."

— LA Times

"A genuine old-fashioned horror thriller."

— NY Daily News
