Directed by Tony Jones, the play opens just after Lucy Westerna’s
mysterious death (played by Jane Gravells), leaving Dr. Van Helsing
(John Stephenson) to collect journals and letters to study in an
attempt to discover the cause of poor Lucy’s demise.
From here, in flashback, the play chronicles Johnathan Harker’s (Tony
Jones) travels to Transylvania and his imprisonment there by his aged
client, Count Dracula (played by Tony Wilson).
We
meet Dr. John Seward (Steve Bullock) in charge of his private lunatic
asylum and his patient Renfield (Brian Trappett) who has some very
interesting views on the nature and source of eternal life.
The
struggle between good and evil continues through the second half with
the men attempting to defeat a powerful, rejuvenated Dracula and save
the soul of the final principle character Mina. (Played by Joy
Carlisle) |
