The classic vampire tale comes to Brush Creek Playhouse!

Brush Creek’s show opens at 7 pm on Friday, October 18, and will run through Sunday, November 3. In addition to the normal performances scheduled for 7 pm Fridays and Saturdays and 2 pm Sundays, Brush Creek has scheduled a special Halloween performance at 7 pm Thursday, October 31.

Director Norman Gouveia is looking forward to opening night, which will offer a real treat to audiences interested in the classic tale. The script by John L. Balderston and Hamilton Deane is a direct adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic novel. Brush Creek’s production is offered by arrangement with Samuel French.

In the tale, Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanatorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims. The vampire is at last found to be a certain Count Dracula, whose ghost is finally laid to rest in a striking and novel manner. The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater, and is appropriate for all groups.
