Here are a few links to my plays on the Dracula theme.
The first play is a stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel called simply 'Dracula' and was written in 1994 for Wells Cathedral School. The first production had a cast of 33 senior students and was staged in an old chicken shed which was converted into a Drama Studio. I was fortunate enough to have the services a young composer called Russell Millard who composed a rather brilliant score for this production and I was also fortunate enough to have a rather brilliant actor in the lead role whose name was Tim Van Eyken who subsequently went on to have a career as an actor appearing most notably in the premier production of 'War Horse' at the National Theatre. I produced the play again some years later but the first production in 1994 had a magical quality to it which I still vividly remember.
Here's a link to a recent production in Canada.
