''We are in Transylvania; and Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your ways, and there shall be to you many strange things.'' Earnest and naive solicitor Jonathan Harker travels to Transylvania to organise the estate of the infamous Count Dracula at his crumbling castle in the ominous Carpathian Mountains. Through notes and diary entries, Harker keeps track of the horrors and terrors that beset him at the castle, telling his fiance Mina of the Count''s supernatural powers and his own imprisonment. Although Harker eventually manages to escape and reunite with Mina, his experiences have led to a mental breakdown of sorts.
Meanwhile in England, Mina''s friend Lucy has been bitten and begins to turn into a vampire. With the help of Professor Van Helsing, a previous suitor of Lucy''s, Seward, and Lucy''s fiance Holmwood attempt to thwart Count Dracula and his attempts on Lucy and consequently Mina''s life.
Arguably the most enduring Gothic novel of the 19th Century, Bram Stoker''s Dracula is as chilling today in its depiction of the vampire world and its exploration of Victorian values as it was at its time of publication.

Il s'agit d'une nouvelle version pour la scène de Rémi De Vos et Éric Vigner. Plus qu'une traduction, plus qu'une adaptation, c'est une véritable recomposition qui est proposée et sur laquelle le traducteur et le metteur en scène s'expliquent dans deux textes introductifs.
Cette nouvelle composition sera créée le 6 octobre au Théâtre de Lorient et le 6 novembre à l'Odéon.
L'ouvrage est complété par un texte brillant de Stéphane Patrice qui analyse l'oeuvre en termes historiques et philosophiques et met en évidence ses résonnances actuelles, en particulier avec le théâtre de Koltès.
