DRACULA

It’s Back!

Experience Dracula at Bannerman Island

In 2017 and 2018 we presented Dracula by playwright Craigh Johnson to sellout audiences!
In 2022 the Hamilton Dean version sold out and had to be extended!

The Bannerman Castle Trust, Inc. and Theatre on the Road are excited to present the original Broadway version.

DRACULA

From the Bram Stoker novel, this is the original Broadway production that premiered in 1927 and was revised in 1997 starring Frank Langella.

Lucy, whose father is in charge of an English asylum, has been attacked by a mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing believes Lucy is the victim of a vampire — a certain Count Dracula. Renfield, an inmate, suffers from delusions and is under the spell of the Count. Will he be found and finally laid to rest?
