Summary
Professor Van Helsing and his brave comrades must hunt down and destroy the profoundly evil Count Dracula. But the Count is exceedingly resourceful, employing superhuman strength, psychic powers, and shape-changing to confound and frustrate his antagonists. Culminating in a wild and shocking confrontation between the King of Vampires and those who would rid the world of him, this adaptation is an action-packed, blood-soaked retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic tale of horror.
History
The McNulty adaptation of Dracula premiered at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, Kentucky on September 22, 2007.
This is not the Dracula of old horror films.
Mikadow Theatre’s production of Dracula explores obsession, immortality, madness, and the monster hiding beneath charm and beauty. Be prepared for a gothic thriller built on atmosphere, emotion, and psychological horror.
