  Review Round-Up

Daily Herald - Somewhat Recommended

"...Part melodrama, part sendup, with a soupcon of camp, "The Passion of Dracula" - inspired by the Bram Stoker novel - is neither droll enough to be a farce nor chilling enough to be a thriller. Borrowing liberally from several genres without committing to any one, the play - like its titular character - becomes ensnared in a theatrical netherworld from which not even the able First Folio provides escape."

Chicago Stage Review - Somewhat Recommended

"...Playwrights Bob Hall and David Richmond have fashioned a ‘Dracula light’ script that isn’t completely chilling but does offer an entertaining take on the blood sucking Count. Director Alison C. Vesely creates a solid production of this less-than-remarkable script. There is an attractive cinematic quality that carries us through the story, complete with lightning, thunder, a handsome set and a delightfully cheesy huge bat flying overhead."
