Western High School Theatre Arts Department presented Dracula, Brahm Stoker's classic tale of good versus evil, personified in the
character of the legendary vampire, Count Dracula. This three-act version
was adapted to the stage by Stephen Hotcher. The play opens with young
Jonathan Harker in the castle of Count Dracula. Plagued by strange
nightmares, Harker is eager to conclude his real estate transaction with
the Count and return to England. Brave servant girl Gretchen is able to
convince Jonathan of the Count's true identity and together they attempt
to kill Dracula. Unfortunately, Dracula escapes to England, vowing revenge
upon Jonathan.
Act II introduces several key characters, as Jonathan's bride, Mina
struggles to save the soul of her friend, Lucy, who has fallen under Count
Dracula's control. Dr. VanHelsing and Lucy's fianc�, Arthur, join the
battle, but they are unable to save her from the Count.
In the third act, Dracula has fled back to Transylvania, with Dr.
VanHelsing and Jonathan in pursuit. Mina accompanies them, but she has
been bitten by the Count and is struggling to remain human. An army of
vampires floods the stage as the climactic confrontation between Count
Dracula and Dr. VanHelsing unfolds.
