Dracula: A Symphony In Blood
Live Drama - A tale of #horror in the theater of the mind. Late one stormy evening, listeners are thrust into Dr. Seward’s asylum, where strange happenings and unsettling cries from the nocturnal patient, Renfield, foreshadow a creeping evil on the horizon. Jonathan Harker’s letters from Transylvania paint a vivid picture of the foreboding Castle Dracula, and his host—a nobleman of ancient lineage and chilling manner—reveals himself to be more than a mere aristocrat.
As the Count’s black-sailed ship arrives on England’s shores, a mysterious scourge descends upon Lucy Westenra, draining her vitality with each passing night. Professor Van Helsing, sensing a foul presence, joins forces with Dr. Seward, Harker, and Mina Murray to uncover the truth. Their harrowing discovery: Count Dracula is a vampire whose undead menace threatens all of London.
In a race against time, the small band of hunters pursues Dracula, fending off his hypnotic power and driving a stake into the heart of Victorian complacency. With graveyards, howling wolves, and the very air charged with suspense, the final confrontation underscores both the danger and the allure of the shadows just beyond the lamplight—culminating in a swift and dramatic clash that seals the fate of the dreaded Count.
Starring Pete Handelman, Jude Gerard Prest, Vernon George Wells, Theresa Ireland, Tanya Johnson, Kurtis Bedford and Tom Konkle as Dracula. Directed and edited by Tom Konkle.
Produced by Kurtis Bedford and Tom Konkle. Script adaption by Tom Konkle
