Bram Stoker’s classic horror novel Dracula will soon be brought to life at the Ocala Civic Theatre.
Set in England during the 1890s, a young woman named Lucy is attacked by a mysterious illness that leaves her terrorized by nightmares, and a specialist named Dr. Van Helsing is summoned. Van Helsing believes that Lucy is the victim of a certain infamous vampire: Count Dracula of Transylvania.
Tales of Dracula’s nefarious deeds and countless victims have spread far and wide, and others will need to rise up against Dracula to ensure that he meets his demise – for too much is at stake to let such evil survive.
