With a cast of 27 characters, Aric Cushing's adaptation includes Mrs. Westenra, Lucy's mother, whom is rarely portrayed in the dramatic versions, Simmons, the Teaming Man, Mr. Swales, and a plethora of other characters whom enlivened Bram Stoker's original novel. The complexityof Stoker's manuscript is not discarded, but instead celebrated in this complex, multi-accented rendition of the most famous horror tale of all time.
Bram Stoker
Abraham Stoker was born near Dublin in 1847. He was virtually bedridden with an unidentified illness until the age of seven. After graduating from Trinity College, he followed his father into a career as a civil servant in Dublin castle, writing journalism and short stories in his spare time. In 1876 he met the actor Henry Irving and two years later became manager of Irving's Lyceum Theatre in London. Through Oscar Wilde's parents, Stoker met his wife Florence Balcombe. He wrote many books of which only Dracula (1897) is widely remembered. He died in 1912.
