'Dracula is an incredibly entertaining play that you can come and enjoy and get lost in without having to think about current events in the world.'

?" recalls Helen Hand, Firehouse's executive producer and board president. "I don't like scary stuff, but Julie acted in the play about fifteen years ago and fell in love with the show, so it's been on her list ever since then.is a large production, with lots of special effects and big spectacle sequences, but Firehouse has a small black box stage; part of the excitement and challenge for our crew is giving it the pizzazz it deserves in an intimate space like this.

But playwright Stephen Dietz offered a helping hand, with"a note for directors in the script that says you can do as many or as few special effects as the theater allows and the story will still work," Wolf says."Firehouse may be small, but the author says we can do it.

"I like how Stephen's writing emphasizes the mystery and thriller sides of the story," Wolf says."I grew up watching, but now there’s freaking sparkly vampires and so many other versions ... Nowadays, we do a lot of retellings of stories; however, what I like about this version of the character is that the author nails the essential elements of this iconic character and cleanly condenses the story for the stage.

Dietz's version details Count Dracula's journey to England and the ensuing chaos as he starts sucking people dry of their blood. While Abraham Van Helsing, an elderly professor, and two couples of lovers, Lucy Westenra/Dr. John Seward and Mina Murray/Jonathan Harker, make an effort to fight back, they discover that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
