With all the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker’s classic novel, 
Steven Dietz takes audiences on a breathless and bloody thrill ride from 
the depths of Transylvania to the very heart of Victorian London. As 
Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon Van Helsing, Renfield, 
Harker, and the rest, they try to piece together the clues to save 
themselves from a hideous fate.

/This production will contain elements of violence, blood, and sexuality./

      ROLES:

  * *Mina Murray:* A smart, strong-willed, and cautious young woman. An
    original ‘final girl’ of the horror genre, but certainly no ‘damsel
    in distress’. Mina is the purest of all characters making her the
    most exquisite target for corruption. Close friend of Lucy. Fiancée
    of Harker.
  * *Jonathan Harker:* A young solicitor hired by Dracula to facilitate
    his arrival in England. Harker travels to Transylvania, is
    imprisoned and tortured by Dracula but escapes. Fiancée of Mina.
  * *Lucy Westenra:* Lucy loves life and is curious about the secrets of
    intimacy. Her biggest problem is having three suitors. Corrupted by
    Dracula, she changes from a coy, aristocratic socialite into a
    wanton vampire.
  * *Dr. John Seward:* A young doctor and administrator of Carfax
    Lunatic Asylum. Awkward and insecure but passionate. In love with
    Lucy. A man of science, he is resistant to the more supernatural
    explanations for the events occurring in the play.
  * *Renfield:* A former solicitor, manipulated and used by Dracula.
    Inmate at the asylum. Obsessed with eating living things (such as
    rats, birds, and spiders). At times he seems insane, but in fact he
    is trapped between his hunger for Dracula’s immortality and his fear
    of eternal retribution.
  * *Dr. Abraham Van Helsing:* A doctor and friend of Seward’s who is an
    authority on the mystic and occult and who eventually diagnoses the
    trouble surrounding Lucy. An intellectual Victorian and a superhero
    of sorts.
  * *Dracula:* Hundreds of years old but drinking the blood of the
    living renders him young and virile. He has great strength and the
    power to manipulate the minds of his victims. At times he is
    confident, polite, and sensual; at others he reveals pure, ruthless
    evil. Speaks in a non-descript Eastern European accent.
  * *Ensemble:* At least three additional actors to play the Vixens (the
    wives of Dracula), waiters, asylum attendants, maids, etc.
