Tonight Lisa (Monli International Company LLC) and Thomas (The Onomatopoeia Theater Company) invite everyone to join Dacre Stoker for “Stoker on Stoker, the Mysteries Behind the Writing of Dracula” – a special event at the historic Players Club, where Bram Stoker himself was a member. Dacre weaves together the details of Dracula’s history with the Stoker family lore, and Bram Stoker’s life in Dublin and London. He’ll separate fact from popular fiction, revealing the truth about all things Stoker and Dracula.
Stoker on Stoker has fascinated audiences around the world, exploring the mysteries that have baffled Dracula scholars and fans since the book’s publication in 1897. Illustrated with Dacre’s collection of never before published, and seldom-seen historic images, it’s a glimpse behind the scenes of the life and the writing of one of the least known authors and one of the world’s most famous books.

• Bram Stoker’s notes for the writing of Dracula

• The Dracula Typescript
• Real locations included in Dracula
• The location of Bram’s fictional Castle Dracula in Transylvania
