Evil has come to the seaside town of Whitby. Now four men and two women must come together to stop it.
Every Monday and Wednesday this October, Cruz Flores Presents Dracula: A Radio Play which attempts to counteract a century of pop culture distortion and adaptation decay to return to the fear and menace of the original Bram Stoker classic.
Adhering to the source material reveals themes such as consent, psychological trauma and fear of disease that are more relevant than ever.
