Ms. McCal- lum made Mina's transfor- mation from victim to vamp as convincing and dramatic as her chance from virginal white to the seductive crimson in which she was to become Dracula's bride. In choosing Mina as his mate, Dracula had first to weigh the charms of the persistent and ubiquitous Sybil Seward, played hilar- iously by comedienne Lesley McNulty. An inmate of the asylum, Dracula's flunky, the irrepressible Renfield, was played both for comedy and pathos with energy and sensitivity by Tricia Fewer. Latuxie O'Reilly, as the aged, loyal Hennesey, and Sue Doupe, as an over-sexed, disrespectful Wesley (both attendants in the asylum) gave cameo performances to make those small parts memorable. Remarkable as these per- formances were, the weight of the play fell on three young men, Mike Stokes as Dr. Seward, Chris Dormer as Van Helsing, and Jeff Foote as Mina's fiance, Jonathan Harker, the intrepid vampire slayers.

Many in the audience who had come prepared to endure a night of high school theatrics left having been delighted by an evening of good amateur theatre.
