Dracula by Steven Dietz

Dracula by Steven Dietz

Presented by Different Stages and The VORTEX at The VORTEX

“The dead travel fast.”  

Different Stages opens its 2015-2016 season with Dracula by Steven Dietz from the novel by Bram Stoker. An ominous presence haunts Lucy Seward’s dreams. Something evil is approaching. A ship founders on the Whitby rocks, its crew nowhere to be found. Rumors of a monstrous black dog spread panic among the locals. An inmate of the local asylum raves about the arrival of his ‘Master’…

They are right to be afraid. Count Dracula, one of the Undead who drink the blood of the living, has arrived in England. As their loved ones fall victim, a determined group led by Professor Van Helsing hunts the Count through the length of England and back to his castle in Transylvania. Rich with both humor and horror, this play paints a wickedly theatrical picture of Stoker’s famous vampire.

Dracula is directed by Melissa Vogt (Quills, Mauritius). Dracula features voice actor JM Specht as the Count.  Playing Lucy and Mina are Jessica Riley (Veronica’s Room) and Taylor Flanagan (When the Rain Stops Falling). Appearing as the crazed Renfield is Charles Stites (Fat Pig). Playing Dr. Van Helsing, Dr. Steward and Jonathan Harker are Beau Paul (The Invention of Love), Trey Deason (Stars and Barmen) and Will Douglas (DNA). Rounding out the cast as Vixens, Maids and Attendants are Jessica Medina (The House of Bernarda Alba), Bridget Farias (Hecuba) and Sara Blair (Boeing-Boeing) and Craig Kanne (Mauritius).
