Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado sponsors Denver Center Theatre Company's upcoming presentation of Dracula

Charles Morey’s thrilling adaptation of Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula' will play the Denver Center Theatre Company’s Space Theatre October 1-31.

Sponsored by The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado and 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.

Tickets for the original vampire tale are on sale now, by calling 303.893.4100 or www.denvercenter.org.
