*PLAY SYNOPSIS:*

"I want your fear. For your fear, like a current, rushes through your body.
Your fear makes your heart pound, it renders your veins rich and full. Your
fear hemorrhages deliciously within you." This new 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.



*CHARACTERS:*



*Mina Murray (female) – *a woman in her early twenties who is in love with
Harker



*Jonathan Harker (male) – *Mina’s fiancé, a solicitor



*Lucy Westenra (female) – *Mina’s friend who falls for Seward



*John Seward (male) – *Lucy’s suitor; a psychologist and the head of a
lunatic asylum



*Renfield (male) – *a madman who provides some dark comic relief



*Abraham Van Helsing (male) – *a professor who teaches philosophy and
researches unexplainable and supernatural illnesses; over the course of the
play, he seems to lose control of his mind and body during his hunt for
Dracula



*Dracula (male) – *a Count from Transylvania, a vampire who’s age seemingly
changes/reverses throughout the play



*2 Male Attendants/Waiters*



*1 Female Maid/Attendant*

This play version closely follows the plot points and characters from Bram
Stoker’s famous novel.
