A new adaptation of Dracula in play format. Inspired by works such as Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors, and drawing on multiple scholarly works to analyze themes within the original story. While the novel is quite lengthy, key scenes have been kept and background events have been summarized to maintain context and developments. One of the most noticeable changes is the gender of specific characters, or the costuming which affects how they are seen by the audience. Dracula oscillates between a feminine and masculine form, while Mina experiences a shocking transformation that remains for the rest of the play. Otherwise follows the novel closely.
