Loft Ensemble Presents DRACULA: BLOOD BEFORE DAWN

LOFT ENSEMBLE has announced the world premiere production of Dracula: Blood Before Dawn adapted and directed by Raymond Donahey. Performances begin with opening night October 7 at 8 pm.

While Dracula: Blood Before Dawn is an homage to Bram Stoker's nonlinear gothic novel, this adaptation takes its own shape as it unwinds the horror of honored and inspired characters, testing their courage, morality and sanity. Blood Before Dawn introduces the title character as a human infiltrator, able to move about the Victorian world, observing as a philosopher, scientist and of course, predator. Set against the dark backdrop of England's Industrial revolution, and filtered through the lives of the privileged and the insane, this story is an adventure of historical fiction, full of danger, secrets, horror, and romance.
