Dracula

by Janet Borsbey, Ruth Swan (Adaptor), Bram Stoker (Creator)

Bram Stoker. Adaptation and activities by Janet Borsbey and Ruth Swan.

Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form.
When Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to meet Count Dracula, he soon realises that he has made a big mistake. What is happening in the lonely castle? Where does Count Dracula go during the day? Why are there no mirrors? Bram Stoker’s classic story takes us, and Count Dracula, from the Transylvanian castle to a small port on the east coast of England. Then we move to London, in a desperate fight to save people from the new, the terrible, Un-dead.
