| David Hurst takes a look at Dracula at Classic Stage Company: Having already cleverly co-opted most of Jane Austen's canon into vehicles for herself, as well as the best of Louisa May Alcott and William Makepeace Thackeray, playwright and actress Kate Hamill has now set her sights on Bram Stoker's 1897 epistolary novel Dracula, currently in production at Classic Stage Company (performed in repertory with Frankenstein) with perplexing and often disastrous results. Thanks to an incoherent tone courtesy of director Sarna Lapine and wildly over-the-top performances by a game cast, Hamill's Dracula doesn't know what it wants to be and audience members are left to scratch their heads in stupefying befuddlement. |

| Hmm. I saw this last Thursday and the audience really seemed to be enjoying the show. I thought it was meant to funny. I had a good time. I thought a line was slipped in that Van Helsing was from America, though I admit I wondered how she got there, and the actress was dressed as if she hailed from the American West. | |

| You're right. The script references her as American, and one of Drac's wife-demons calls her an "American cow-girl." | |

| I find myself not reading All That Chats New York Reviews... so... I'm not sure. But. Are they all like this? These seem really ill-informed about the shows and theater going in general. | |

| "I find myself not reading All That Chats New York Reviews... so... I'm not sure. But. Are they all like this? These seem really ill-informed about the shows and theater going in general." Can you be more specific about which reviews you're referring to, and can you define in what respect you feel the writers are "ill-informed?" |
