“Dracula” opens at Taproot Theatre this Friday, Sept. 25 and runs through Oct. 24, at 204 N. 85th St. This is the world premiere of Nathan Jeffrey’s adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel. It’s recommended for ages 14 and up.
The battle between light and dark erupts in a brand new adaptation of this classic thriller. Far from the romanticized vampires of recent years, this monster is a dire threat to humanity. Dracula lurks in the shadows, plotting to prey on the people of England. As night falls over London, intrepid heroes join forces to defeat him with the only weapon he fears — a heart willing to sacrifice everything.
