Experience Dracula: The Journal of Jonathan Harker Live on Bannerman Island
“DRAC IS BACK” ON BANNERMAN ISLAND AND BETTER THAN EVER IN AN INCREDIBLE ADAPTATION OF THE DRACULA STORY BY JIM HELSINGER (Orlando Shakes Artistic Director).
“This is the very essence of theatre… Don’t miss it.” – The Bethlehem Press (PA)
Sent to Castle Dracula to deliver deeds to the infamous Count, Jonathan Harker has no idea what he’s getting himself into in this tour-de-force thrill ride, starring Duane Boutté (Sex and the City, Alabama Shakespeare, Lincoln Center) and Directed by Christian Conn (Asolo Rep, Guthrie Theatre).
Once he arrives, Jonathan finds himself being held captive by the eerie and cryptic Count, discovering horrific sights behind some of the castle’s closed doors. Only after he escapes is his worst fear confirmed: Count Dracula is an undead creature of the night. With the help of Van Helsing and other friends, Jonathan sets off on a mission to find and destroy the Count before he becomes more powerful than ever, risking his life to save the lives of those he loves.
The show is performed in front of The Bannerman Residence (smaller castle) on Bannerman Island.
