The Tale of Dracula

Neurotic closet-dweller Bram Stoker visits the campfire to tell his iconic vampire story. In Transylvania, hot twink Jon "Jonathan" Harker shacks up with a rich older man who wants to consume his bodily fluids. Meanwhile in England, notorious strumpet Lucy Westenra attempts to ensnare her innocent friend Mina into the dangerous and disgusting world of sex. A cautionary tale about the perils of horniness, as Bram attempts to prove once and for all that vampires are in no way sexy. Mary Shelley invites Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer just to stir the pot. Content notes: swearing, raised voices, violence, death, guns, gory sounds, Victorian institutionalisation of mental health patients, strong sexual content. CAST Edgar Allan Poe/Dracula — RODRIGO BORGESMary Shelley/Mina Murray — REBECCA D'SOUZAClive Barker — SISTER INDICAHP Lovecraft — ROBIN JOHNSONDean Koontz — WREN MONTGOMERYStephen King — JASON ROBINSONwith Bram Stoker/Quincey Morris — JOEL A.S.
