What did our critic think of DRACULA at Elmwood Playhouse?Set in England in 1914, the overall look of the show is nicely evoked by Set Designer, Rob Ward; Seward’s office in the Sanatorium, Lucy’s Bedroom and Dracula’s lair are all effective and opulent. Janet Fenton’s costumes capture the period, and are a wonder to behold. The entire crew, led by stage managers Nancy Logan and Kathy Simpson, excels in propelling the story with their technical precision. @elmwoodplayhous

'The last I saw of Count Dracula was...a red light of triumph in his eyes' Dracula at the Long Beach Playhouse Sept. 23 - Oct. 21, 2017 Long Beach, CA. As autumn begins our thoughts turn to the holiday most revered by children and by adults who refuse to grow up: Halloween. And what is Halloween without the infamously lusty and bloodsucking Count Dracula? The classic story unfolds as we watch Lucy Seward succumb to a mysterious illness which is draining her life force, her father and his long-time associate, Dr. Van Helsing hunt the true cause of her malady, a vampire stalking London. Watch the chase as the undead terrify the countryside. Will the virtuous triumph or will Dracula succeed in spreading the curse of the Nosferatu?
