Berko review: DRACULA: THE BLOODY TRUTH @ Great Lakes Theater
by Roy Berko 23 Oct '23

23 Oct '23

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: Many will find DRACULA: THE BLOODY TRUTH to be a laugh riot, others will wonder why their seatmates were reacting, while they aren’t. I, unfortunately, was in the latter group. Too bad, for with all the angst in the world, I was hoping for two-hours, with intermission, of humorous escape. Oh, well . . .
