Liz Lochhead from Bram Stoker

Published by Nick Hern Books

5 Male 4 Female

Liz Lochhead's Dracula stays refreshingly close to Bram Stoker's classic novel

"After a sleepless night,' she writes in the Introduction, 'my hair was standing on end, what with the mad Renfield in his lunatic asylum eating flies and playing John the Baptist to his coming master ... and with Lucy's description of her "dream" of flying with the red-eyed one above the lighthouse at Whitby, and Jonathan's "dream" of the three Vampire Brides' advances upon him and of their being repelled at the last minute by the furious Dracula

"This was before I'd even got to the abducted children or "the loving hand" of Lucy's fiancé staking her through the heart ... or that shocking rape-like bit where, with Mina's newly-wed husband Jonathan asleep in a flushed stupor by her side, Dracula, at her throat, takes his fill of her life's-blood

'Still, what really attracted me to the story was Rule One for becoming a vampire-victim - "First of all you have to invite him in"'

Ideal for schools and drama groups, this Dracula is all the more chilling for the respect it shows for Stoker's original nightmare creation
