Dracula of Transylvania

The First Adaptation Advised by the Stoker Family 

since 1927’s Broadway Premiere Starring Bela Lugosi!

In the early nineteen twenties, Florence Balcombe, widow of DRACULA’s author, gave authorization to theatrical producer Hamilton Deane to co-opt Bram Stoker’s 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 Stoker’s 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 mayhem…without sacrificing suspense, thrills, chills, or good old-fashioned action.”

DRACULA, of Transylvania is no milk-toast, drawing-room, murder mystery. This is Bram Stoker’s 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!
