Dracula (Undressed). 6m, 3w, extras. Although the setting and
characters are the same as the Balderston-Deane hit play of 1927,
we sense that something has gone terribly amiss. Dr Seward, an
amiable physician, is tormented by the fact that his daughter
Lucy's life is endangered, after her friend Mina Yerna has so
recently died of a mysterious illness. Mina's blood, it seems,
turned into pure alcohol. Lucy's fiance, Jonathan is summoned to
help, in his own peculiar way, as is Professor Van Helsing, who has
seen these symptoms before. The problem, it seems, stems from a new
neighbor, Count Dracula, who brings riotous good times wherever he
goes, heedless of what destruction follows. The shattering
conclusion to the play deals with the illusions upon which all
adulthood is based. Although the most sophomoric of farces, its
theme is deadly serious: if it feels good, admit it. Performed
internationally, Dracula (Undressed) has astonished audiences of
discerning taste, as it provokes deep introspection about all our
motives and appetites.
