Opis

Dracula (Undressed). 6m, 3w, extras. Although the setting and characters are the same as the Balderston-Deane hit play of 1927, we sense that something has gone terribly amiss. Dr Seward, an amiable physician, is tormented by the fact that his daughter Lucy's life is endangered, after her friend Mina Yerna has so recently died of a mysterious illness. Mina's blood, it seems, turned into pure alcohol. Lucy's fiance, Jonathan is summoned to help, in his own peculiar way, as is Professor Van Helsing, who has seen these symptoms before. The problem, it seems, stems from a new neighbor, Count Dracula, who brings riotous good times wherever he goes, heedless of what destruction follows. The shattering conclusion to the play deals with the illusions upon which all adulthood is based. Although the most sophomoric of farces, its theme is deadly serious: if it feels good, admit it. Performed internationally, Dracula (Undressed) has astonished audiences of discerning taste, as it provokes deep introspection about all our motives and appetites."
