ABOUT ABOUT

The quiet English countryside changed with the arrival of its newest neighbor, Count Dracula. Even Lucy Seward, the daughter of the psychiatrist in charge of the local sanitorium, is behaving strangely. Her mysterious oddities are noticed by Jonathan Harker, the man who loves her, and her father who sends for Dr. Van Helsing. Van Helsing believes Lucy might be a victim of a ghost that sucks blood at night from its victims. Based on Bram Stoker’s famous gothic novel, this version by John L. Balderston and Hamilton Deane is the first successful adaptation. Deane’s version opened in London in 1924, but before it’s Broadway opening in 1927, American John L. Balderston was hired to revise it.  Bela Lugosi played the title role on stage and in the 1931 film.  Frank Langella followed suit on Broadway in 1977, and starred in the 1979 film.  It’s thrilling entertainment for the whole family!
