The Santa Ana College Theater Department produced a rendition of Dracula earlier this October. Here are pictures from their dress rehearsal on October the 16th.

Andrea Decker and Wyn Moreno, wife-and-husband co-writers, reframed Bram Stoker’s Dracula with a female lead to upend the original. 

As the director, Moreno wanted to present the haunting nightmares of the Dracula novel in a horror play that is a time-period tale with a modern twist.

“The heart of the story is where people are far more dangerous than they appear,” said Moreno.

Not a real plot departure from the original, the result is a classic story about good versus evil that pits Victorian high society do-gooders against the vampire trying to invade their community. This time, the story was an intimate conversation with Wilhelmina Murray, Dracula’s latest desire.

“You will not be getting what you expect,” said Madeline Loewe-Pollack, as Wilhelmina. “Bram took liberties with my story.”
