Interview: SPENCER PLACHY of DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY

I've tried to draw as much from the novel as I possibly could. I have seen a handful of film depictions.

Review: DRACULA at CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY

Houston’s CLASSICAL THEATRE COMPANY has decided to take it back to the original written word and return Dracula to the status of a demon rather than a lover. And yet, somehow, they have cast Spencer Plachy, who is the most swoon-worthy actor Houston has, a man who has embodied Mr. Darcy for years. Also, a man sexy enough to star in the Broadway tour of THE LION KING shirtless as Scar. It’s wild to see Darcy do Dracula and do it as a feral animal to boot. See what our critic had to say.
