Dracula : The Play This year ' s fall play was Dracula, a mystery written by Bram Stoker. It is taken from Stoker ' s famous novel of the same name, which has been read by two generations of booklovers. It still ranks as one of the best sellers. SYNOPSIS Lucy Seward, daughter of the physician in charge of a sanatorium near London, is mysteriously anaemic. Doctor Van Helsing, a specialist in obscure diseases, suspects a vampire which, according to legend, is an ugly soul that, grave-bound by day, roams the earth at night, and sustains its earthly life by sucking the blood of ap- proachable victims. Instituting a search, Van Helsing uncovers Count Dracula as such a vampire and, finding the grave, drives a stake through the heart of the corpse from which he comes, thus ending the vampire ' s existence.
