Oat for oo(f UNA photo by Christopher Rohling DIRE STR. ITS. D. Evan Tucker ' s Renfield is buggin ' . UraciAla rises to a standing ovatioi atNortoin AiAditonum. ' n the small village of Purfleet, just north of London, trouble is brew- ing. The mysterious illness that has taken the life of Lucv Westerna now holds her friend Mina Seward in its clutches. This is only the beginning ot a harrowing tale depicted bv students in the spring production of Bram Stoker ' s Draciila, adapted for the stage by Dr. Charles Nolte. Dr. David Reubhausen directed the students through the twists and turns of the classic plot, helping them develop their characters along the way. Kelly Ecklund had the challenging role of Mina Seward, infected with the inexplicable illness that had taken her friend Lucy. Collin Martin was the determined Dr. Seward, desperate to save his daughter from the condition that was causing her to lose so much blood. Jonathon Harker, played by Daniel Wright, was Mina ' s distressed fiance and Dr. Seward ' s assistant. Dr. Seward called upon Steven Gross ' s Professor Van Helsing, an old friend of the Seward family and an expert on the occult, to come and help Mina. After the professor met Count Dracula, played on alternate nights bv Mark Spencer Hampton and John Austin Ambrose, he began to suspect that the Count was a vampire and that Mina was his victim. Dr. Seward, Harker, and the profes- sor tried to find Count Dracula ' s tomb, but they were intercepted by the count ' s assistants, Nurse Wakefield and Renfield. The easily manipulated Nurse Wakefield was played by Pamela Williams, and D. Evan Tucker ' s Renfield was a mental pafient who enjoved eating bugs. Added to the chiller was The Phantom, played by Thomas-Edward Irwin- Franklin Moore, as well as Mina ' s emerging vampire-like qualities. The students ' performances, along with the work done behind the scenes to create spectacular special effects, perfectly complemented the captivating classic tale. bv Kristin Burt 26
