PROLOGUE
A man, Dracula, steps from a coffin. Naked we step into the world, naked we re-enter.

VOYAGE
Jonathan Harker, a young attorney-at-law, boards a carriage alone. This is the final leg of a journey that has brought him far from his home of England.

ARRIVAL AND SOJOURN
Jonathan’s decision to enter Count Dracula’s castle will have an eternally  significant impact on his life and the lives of many others. Jonathan, terrorized by the vampire, reads through his papers as Count Dracula watches, listens and observes. As the scene ends we ask ourselves: Is what happened reality, fantasy, or a combination of the two?

THE PLOT THICKENS
Jonathan strengthens his mettle by looking at a photograph of his beloved Mina. Count Dracula reaches into Jonathan’s mind and conjures the living image of Mina. The door is locked; Jonathan is alone as a prisoner. Though the thought of Mina is with him, Jonathan succumbs to the seductive brides of Dracula. These creatures are dispersed by Dracula who claims Jonathan for his own. Jonathan watches Dracula depart for England as, simultaneously, the real Mina and Lucy are seen in their English garden.

ENGAGEMENT
The young Lucy Westenra awaits her suitors. The intelligent yet melancholy Dr. Jack Seward is sadly rejected, while the confident and flamboyant Lord Arthur Holmwood is accepted with joy.

FLUTTERING BATS
Skittering among his fellow bats, Dracula arrives at Renfield’s cell, clearly demonstrating that Dracula sees Renfield as his pet. The master feeds before his servant.

THE SANATORIUM
Dr. Seward returns from Lucy’s unaccepting arms to the study of his most peculiar patient, Renfield. Renfield, who craves bugs, spiders and all living things, grows more violent as he cannot get his way with Seward. The doctor obtains relief through morphine injections.

FORESHADOWING
Alone in England, Dracula seeks his new wives. While sleepwalking, Lucy is lured by Dracula into a cemetery. He lulls her into his arms and feeds upon her blood. Once he has his fill, Dracula opens the veins of his wrist to infect Lucy with his blood.

CELEBRATION
Lord Arthur and Lucy celebrate their engagement with a party. Lucy arrives late
upon the arm of an unknown stranger. She draws attention as, uncaring of social protocol, she displays her sensual enjoyment. As the party proceeds to its climax, the real Lucy resurfaces and runs out in embarrassment and exhaustion.

ONE DANCE
Dracula stops Mina from following Lucy. Time stands still. Dracula, who should feed upon Mina, cannot; Mina, who should be repulsed by Dracula, is drawn toward him. Unbidden, the vision of Jonathan breaks in upon the intimate couple. Mina leaves upon reading a message that Jonathan has returned.

ANGER, RETRIBUTION
Dracula flies into the night, imprisoned by the shadows which he has chosen. Dr.
Van Helsing arrives to view the ailing Lucy. Dracula, as an invisible creature longing to walk with Mina, stalks Mina and Jonathan. Tortured by the grasp Mina has upon him, Dracula seeks his retribution upon Lucy. In a final wild seduction Dracula draws the last drops of life from Lucy. Holmwood, Seward and Van  Helsing arrive. Through blood transfusions they hope to save Lucy, but they must simply sit out the death watch.
