\"darkside-avat.jpg\"<\/a>Skagit Valley College Theater Department production of Dracula opens at McIntyre Hall Friday, February 9th 2007. Screenplay by Seattle writer Steven Dietz based on Bram Stoker’s original work.<\/p>\n

Fair warning – this production may be upsetting to some people. Bram Stoker’s original Dracula creation has many elements in it that were skipped in early Hollywood renditions. It is upsetting if not seen in it’s entirety. It’s supposed to be – it’s horror. It will not be surprising if some people walk out in disgust.<\/p>\n

Steven Dietz 1995 adaptation of Bram Stokers classic novel, Dracula<\/em>, takes the audience on a literary journey that parallels the book. Those who have seen the production on stage or in the theatres with famed movie star Bela Legosi have only seen half the story. Stoker’s book, told through news paper clippings and journal entries flows more like a detective novel then a work of horror. Dietz captures Stokers literary genius, bringing the play to its climatic conclusion.<\/font><\/p>\n
