Dracula: A Radio Play

Evil has come to the seaside town of Whitby. Now four men and two women must come together to stop it. 
 
Every Monday and Wednesday this October, Cruz Flores Presents Dracula: A Radio Play which attempts to counteract a century of pop culture distortion and adaptation decay to return to the fear and menace of the original Bram Stoker classic. 
 
Adhering to the source material reveals themes such as consent, psychological trauma and fear of disease that are more relevant than ever. 

Our story begins in Transylvania where solicitor Jonathan Harker is traveling to Transylvania to act as an estate agent for Count Dracula, who wishes to move to England. Jonathan is young, ambitious and eager to move up at his firm for the benefit of himself and his future wife, Mina Murray. He finds Dracula's influence pervades mysterious castle and is able to penetrate his psyche when he is most vulnerable.

While Mina travels to Jonathan, Lucy stays with her future husband, Dr. John Seward at his sanitarium to treat her mysterious illness. Dr. Seward calls on the help of his mentor, Abraham Van Helsing.

Today's episode will be slightly different. I'll be interviewing three of the actors from the play to give three different perspectives. Jason Miles will talk about how he felt coming to Dracula for the first time. Erin Lundquist will talk about how the historical background of Dracula relates to issues today and Lindsay Meagher-Swanson, mental health counselor, will talk about how horror fiction can be therapeutic. 

Van Helsing continues to investigate Lucy's death and finds Mina Harker has the final pieces of the puzzle he's been looking for. The Hunt for Dracula begins.
