Well, unless you’re Dracula. The world’s most famous vampire is more alive dead and has been for more than a hundred years. He’s taking yet another bow, this time over at Classical Theatre Company, where they’re offering up Chris Iannacone’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’sThe year is 1897, and English solicitor Jonathan Harker embarks on a long journey, traveling quite the distance to Transylvania to meet with a mysterious man named Count Dracula.
By not leaning into the more common themes that usually come up in this story, director Blake Weir certainly created a challenge for himself and, somehow, it’s a challenge he overcame in terms of still mounting a thoroughly watchable show. It’s genuinely scary at times, funny in moments, and unsettling throughout – i.e., just what you want to see around Halloween. And despite a script that does a lot more telling than showing, the action scenes here are top-notch.
There’s Kyle Clark as weary traveler and nervous talker Jonathan Harker. There’s the tight-laced skepticism of David Akinwande’s Seward. Jonathan Robinson, who brings a shuddering insanity and a hauntingly maniacal laugh to Renfield. Eva Olivia Catanzariti’s sympathetic Lucy and Patrick Fretwell’s steadfast Holmwood.
