    About this ebook

    Dracula and Frankenstein: Two Horror Plays brings together two classic horror tales updated for the 21st century and adapted for the stage by two of Britain’s leading playwrights.



    Bram Stoker’s Dracula adapted by Bryony Lavery



    This is the modern world. Its inhabitants can go anywhere, even to
    Transylvania. They can communicate globally in the blink of an eye. But
    their feet, in their modern shoes, walk upon the gravestones of a vast
    cosmic graveyard. Count Dracula is still alive. He could always come
    through walls, arrive on a moonbeam but, in the modern world, he has
    emails, smartphones, webcams and the worldwide web…



    Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein adapted by Lisa Evans



    Mary is imprisoned in a present-day psychiatric hospital, convicted of
    murdering her baby daughter. During her incarceration she becomes
    obsessed with Mary Shelley’s famous novel. The novel comes to life
    within her imagination, and we are left to question just who the real
    monster really is, Mary or Frankenstein himself…

      Last week, I found myself – at the end of a gloomy day – shot through with a burst of fierce, electric energy. It came from watching Sophie Okonedo’s 90 minutes of flat-out fury as she played Medea, opposite Ben Daniels’s Jason, in Dominic Cooke’s pr
