Play review – “Dracula” by John L Balderstone and Hamilton Deane

Great melodrama, which plunges straight into the action, has plenty of plot, vivid characters and memorable scenes: Dracula of course, the maid innocently clearing the bed of protective stuff, Renfield, the introduction of Van Helsing. Hoary and over the top but the structure is so good and the story so strong (and touches on so many primeval themes) that this is actor and director proof.
