Later in the week, the Oswego Players will present the classic horror story “Dracula”in September as the fourth production of their eightieth anniversary season.
The show carries all the excitement of Bram Stoker’s original book, in a revised dramatic adaptation. The story begins as Abraham Van Helsing investigates the mysterious illness of a young woman, Lucy Seward, with the help of her father and fiance. He discovers she is the victim of Count Dracula, a powerful vampire who is feeding on her blood. The men follow one of Dracula’s servants to the vampire’s hiding place, where they decide they must try to kill him. Come early to the theater, get the best seat in the house and experience the rush of excitement watching if they finally succeed in their quest. Faint of heart beware.
