VAMPIRE CLASSIC DEBUTS ON DCTC STAGE


* * *

Dracula plays the Stage Theatre Oct 1 – 31

Opening Night Thurs, Oct 7

Denver — Charles Morey’s thrilling adaptation of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA will play the Denver Center Theatre Company’s Space Theatre October 1-31 (with a press opening night Thursday, October 7.) Tickets for the original vampire tale are on sale now, by calling 303.893.4100 or www.denvercenter.org.

Directed by Gavin Cameron-Webb, the DCTC production of DRACULA promises to be lushly staged and amply frightening. Charles Morey’s adaptation is loyal to Stoker’s original novel in both plot and style, and mirrors the novel’s overarching sense of threat and dread, says Cameron-Webb. He also notes that what makes this tale so thrilling is that our imagination and our fear of what lurks in the fog and might emerge from the gloom, is more frightening than anything in reality. He aims to play on those fears in the production, while staying true to the classic vampire tale.

Single tickets for DRACULA start at $18 and are on sale now. To purchase, call Denver Center Ticket Services at 303.893.4100. TTY (for Deaf and hard-of-hearing patrons): 303.893.9582.
