The First Adaptation Advised by the Stoker Family since 1927s Broadway Premiere Starring Bela Lugosi!In the early nineteen twenties, Florence Balcombe, widow of DRACULAs author, gave authorization to theatrical producer Hamilton Deane to co-opt Bram Stokers novel for a stage play. For years since, the story has been adapted into dramatic form, but never in collaboration with the family Stoker. Until now. DRACULA of Transylvania made its world premiere in 2013. This dramatization by Christofer Cook, with Dacre Stokers advisement, gives the whole story in all its beautifully- terrifying grandeur.An intricately crafted script, Dracula of Transylvania offers a satisfying live alternative to decades of cinematic gore and computer-generated mayhemwithout sacrificing suspense, thrills, chills, or good old-fashioned action.- August KrickelSC Press Association2014 Award RecipientDRACULA, of Transylvania is no milk-toast, drawing-room, murder mystery. This is Bram Stokers complete saga. A horror-adventure that takes us from the wilds of the dark, mountainous Carpathians to the cobblestone streets of polite London. The epic play is perfect for professional, regional, and community theatres. But, beware! This version of the venerable yarn has fangs, sharp as stakes!

There are absolute moments of genuine suspense in the classic Hitchcock vein.”-August KrickelPost & CourierDrama / 4M / 4F / 1 InteriorAmityville 1925 is the first published stage play about the infamous house of murder and hauntings in Long Island, New York.
