Dracula
Adapted by William McNulty
Produced by April Bridgeman
Directed by Tony Marshak
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.

Character Descriptions
Robert Renfield – a lunatic of unique appetites and an unfortunate sense of humor
A Monster – a vicious supernatural demon; the shape assumed by Dracula when he isn’t concerned about appearances. Part zombie, part werewolf, he loves a good chase and is always thirsty.
Mina Grant – a beautiful undead woman in her late 20s. We will see her in various stages of vampirism.
Margaret Sullivan – Dr. Seward’s loyal assistant. Irish. Tries to conceal her working class roots with an air of propriety.
Abram Van Helsing – an older man, still in good physical condition, with a razor mind and an intense interest in the supernatural.
Dr. Thomas Seward – an intelligent, fine young Englishman in his early 30s. The former fiancé of the late Mina Grant. A deeply caring, vulnerable human being.
Count Dracula- a brute who revels in the pain and suffering he brings to others. Capable of enormous charm and courtly manners when such affections are called for.
The Brides – 3 vampiresses with seductive ways and dire purposes.
The Child – female, between 7-10, wears a communion dress. (This will be cast separately from auditions.)
Norbert Briggs – an attendant at the asylum. A rough guy, not entirely a brute, but capable of violent behavior when pushed to it.
Luch Westphal – a lovely young Englishwoman. Extremely intelligent, and when not being drained of blood on a regular basis, quite vivacious.
Jonathan Harker – a young solicitor. Handsome, impetuous, madly in love with Lucy.
