Dracula:
A Comic ThrillerStarring Shirley Holmes and Jennie Watson

By Kent R. Brown

Count Dracula and his devoted Draculettes have already munched their way through most of rural Transylvania, and now they've set their sights on London—where every citizen looks like a midnight snack. Unless someone stops them, the whole city may soon be on the menu!

But never fear: Shirley Holmes and Jennie Watson, the clever nieces of Sherlock and Dr. Watson, are on the case. With exams looming, they'd much rather slay vampires than study. They join forces with Sabrina Van Helsing, daughter of the famous vampire slayer, along with her friends Jonathan Harker and Wilhelmina Murray. Sherlock's no-nonsense housekeeper, Lucretia Dobrinski, refuses to sit this one out. Together, this unlikely crew sets off to take down the Prince of Darkness.

From lightning and thunder at Castle Dracula to a thrilling chase across Europe, the adventure crackles with suspense and comedy. Dracula speeds ahead on his schooner while Jonathan races by carriage to beat him to England's shores. Along the way, audiences will meet sweet Lucy, who is slipping under Dracula's spell, Dr. John Seward, the bumbling director of the local asylum, and Renfield, the fly-eating inmate desperate to join Team Dracula.

Can these novice vampire slayers defeat Dracula before London becomes his personal buffet? The play is filled with shrieks and surprises, with a live Foley chorus adds to the fun with sound effects that bring every eerie moment to life.
