Dracula Radio Theatre directed by Tammy Van Evera R-ACT Theatre Productions presents Bram Stoker's Dracula in the style of old radio theatre broadcasts of the 1930s-1940s, complete with sound effects performed live by a Foley artist. “My friends, there are such things as vampires. The vampire which is amongst us is himself so strong that he can direct all the elements. How then are we to begin our stride to destroy him? How shall we find his place? And having found it, how can we destroy? My friends, it is a terrible task that we undertake. To fail here is not mere life or death. If we fail we become as him - foul things of the night.” |
