Dracula

Based on Bram Stokers dark tale, this faithful, fast-moving adaptation tells the story of Draculas ultimate demise. The play begins with the arrival of Jonathon Harker at the home of Count Dracula in Transylvania. Unaware of Draculas evil and bloody lifestyle, Harker sets forth the sale of an estate in London to Dracula, and opens the door to Draculas reign of terror in Harkers homeland. As Dracula moves on to his new estate, he leaves Harker behind as a meal for the horrible creatures that dwell at his Transylvanian home.

Dracula settles in at his London estate and begins his search for his next prized victim, Mina, the wife of Harker. After an attack on Minas friend, Dr. Van Helsing, an expert on diseases of the blood, and (unknown to the Londoners) a vampire hunter, is brought in to help. At the same time, Harker finally escapes from Draculas lair. Mina is attacked by Dracula, but is able to resist the lure of her new vampire impulses. In the final struggle, it is Mina who saves everyone by driving a stake through Draculas heart. All those once possessed by Dracula are now finally free, and Jonathon and Mina are reunited.
