Expect thrills and chills when “Dracula” is presented by Hopewell Valley Central High School students on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23 and 24.
The play, based upon the novel by Bram Stoker, was adapted for the stage by Mickey Fisher, a Hollywood-based screenwriter known for his work as the creator of the show “Extant,” which aired over the past two summers on CBS.
This production takes the Victorian setting of the novel and enhances it with a steampunk, rock and roll edge. The cast, crew and technical team have been hard at work on the production since the second week of the school year.
To Dracula, “the blood is life.”
This play follows the journey of Jonathan Harker as he travels to Transylvania to do business with the mysterious Count Dracula. When their business is concluded, Dracula heads to England in search of his prey.
Aided by notorious vampire hunter Van Helsing, Jonathan and his friends must battle Dracula to save their beloved Lucy and Mina.
Director Katie Rochan brings her experience in acting in the play in a regional theater in Kentucky.
Tickets are available at the door on the day of the show or in advance by visiting www.showtix4u.com. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students and seniors.
