Dracula (Dramatized)

By: Bram Stoker, Charles Morey

Narrated by: David Selby, John Glover, Simon Templeman, Matthew Wolf, Moira Quirk, Lisa O’hare, Nick Toren

Before Twilight and True Blood, only one vampire commanded “the children of the night". In this bloodthirsty tale of unholy terror, Count Dracula slips into Victorian London with a cargo of his native Transylvanian soil - so he can rest between victims. The city seems helpless against his frightful power, and only one man, Dr. Van Helsing, can stop the carnage. But to do this, he must uncover the vampire’s lair and pierce his heart with a wooden stake.

Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center in May 2011.

If you could sum up Dracula (Dramatized) in three words, what would they be?

Differentiating the characters and their personalities is very easy

What other book might you compare Dracula (Dramatized) to and why?

Dracula will always be the origin of The Twilight Series

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not yet but I just may try it out. I enjoyed listening to this version of the story

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It definitely kept my attention and the background noise really did make it seem like I was backstage at a play. Nice work.

Any additional comments?

A good dramatization of a timeless classic. Fun to listen to.

I loved this so much!

Simon Templeman as Dracula! Enough said! but really, all the performances were wonderful. I highly recommend this if you like Dracula, theater productions, or Kain himself!

Spoooooky!

I loved the adaptation and the concise reduction of the book into a very thrilling, fast paced production. I really enjoyed the reader’s theater experience with a full cast of performers. Highly recommend!

Stunning

This whole production is absolutely stunning! Such beautiful performances are given by all, Lisa O’Hare in particular in the role of Mina. Even the underscoring is perfectly done! I would very highly recommend this audiobook to any and all of my fellow horror lovers, as well as to anyone looking for something on the spooky side!

Very cool

I love all these LATW performances! Dracula is one of my favorites. Great performance and keeps me listening.

Very Entertaining Performance!

It seems to recorded from a theater play and converted into a Radio Drama. The performance of the actors is magnificient. I can't recommend this enough.

Dracula

This is the version of Dracula for you, if you are looking for a short and quick telling of the story. It’s the very best audio version I’ve ever heard, and it tells the story with verve and imagination. Every narrator was great. What an outstanding and entertaining piece. I loved it.
