    Trailer: Richian Presents Dracula

    Dracula was told in letters. Diary entries, telegrams, a ship's log, a doctor's phonograph recordings. Bram Stoker built the whole novel out of documents people wrote while the horror was still happening to them. So we are performing it that way: a full cast, every letter read in the voice of the person who wrote it, with sound design built for headphones and a dark room. Thirty seconds. Headphones on, lights down. Chapters 1 to 3 arrive Monday, 5 October. A new chapter twice a week after that.
