Studio Tenn’s staging of Dracula, originated by William McNulty, offers a fresh take on the notorious classic horror story. McNulty stays close to Bram Stoker’s original novel with a few exceptions, one being the location. Instead of Transylvania, we are in London, England. In this version, Vlad, Count Dracula, Nosferatu, the Prince of Darkness, whichever nom de plume you prefer, is portrayed more as a villain than a charming figure, and more monstrous than seductive. He is the personification of evil whose terrifying goal is to spread his curse and feed his hunger. This Dracula is primal and feral.
