In Bram Stoker’s classic tale of horror, Dracula, 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 stage adaptation is an action-packed, blood-soaked retelling of Stoker’s 1897 novel.
