1. THE STORY OF DRACULA

Our story begins in 1842, when Jonathan Hawker, a young lawyer, travels to
Transylvania. He is on his way to take documents to Count Dracula, who has bought a
house in England. Count Dracula is a mysterious, rich man, who lives in a castle, high up
in the mountains.
When Jonathan arrives, he is welcomed into the castle by Dracula and offered food and
wine, which he refuses. Jonathan gives Dracula documents to sign. Dracula sees
Jonathan’s picture of Mina, his fiancée, and he is very interested in her. Dracula
hypnotizes Jonathan in order to get him to write a letter to Mina, saying that he’s staying
in Transylvania. Also, Jonathan discovers that Dracula has no reflection in the mirror and
that he doesn’t like crucifixes. Is Dracula a vampire?
Dracula makes Jonathan sleep and steals his picture of Mina. While Jonathan sleeps,
Dracula decides to go to London to meet Mina. When Jonathan wakes up, he realizes
that Dracula has stolen his picture and that she is in danger, so he needs to save her.
Meanwhile, Dracula meets Mina in London. She’s worried because she has received a
strange letter from Jonathan. Dracula hypnotizes her as well and takes her to
Transylvania with him. Jonathan goes to meet a vampire hunter, Van Helsing, because
he needs help to catch Dracula and save Mina.
Will Jonathan save Mina or will Dracula win the battle…?
This activity is designed to be used in conjunction with a performance of IPA Productions’ Dracula. For more
