Dracula
Dracula Dracula was a well presented and well adapted play that has been transformed to fit into the 21st Century. As Dracula was my second play ever, this was a complete spin on True West, which I saw earlier in the year. For me, Dracula was difficult to follow, as before I had no intelligence on the play’s history. I found myself enjoying the set more than the acting, as the props were very impressive.
