  • Renfield – in the Shadow of the Vampire at the Bakehouse Theatre, 2020
    FRINGE REVIEW: RENFIELD – IN THE SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE AT THE BAKEHOUSE THEATRE, 2020 English theatrical company Grist To The Mill Productions have a number of shows running throughout this year’s Adelaide Fringe. Renfield: In The Shadow Of The Vampire, is the newest addition to their repertoire and it had its world premiere at the Bakehouse Theatre on Thursday night. Written and performed by British actor, Ross Ericson, and directed by Michelle Yim, the play is a harrowing exploration of an individual’s descent into madness, presented through the experiences of the delusional character, Renfield, who featured in Bram Stoker’s classic gothic horror novel, Dracula. The action is set in the Carfax lunatic asylum run by Dr. John Seward as described in the original source text. Renfield, in this production, is first seen fronting a panel of medical experts and influential dignitaries, including Dr. Abraham Van Helsing and Quincy Adams, and British nobles. They are gathered together to assess whether Renfield can be considered as being cured and declared sane, so that he can subsequently be tried in court for his crimes against society. It’s a solo piece for Ericson. He plays the role of ‘narrator’, who cleverly contextualises events for the audience in extended rhyming verse, as well as assuming the part of Renfield, both in the present, as he argues his case to the panel, and in the past, as he relates his journey to self- understanding in a series of vivid flashbacks. Addressing the audience briefly after the show, Ericson suggested that the work is, to some degree, still in progress; and at times during the performance, the flow of dialogue in the frequent shifts between his character’s internal perspectives, did come across as tentative and the changes were not always clearly defined, This suggested that the writer/performer is still experimenting with the piece and is, as yet, undecided about how best to deliver the material he has written to achieve its optimal effect.

  • Behold the Beast: Victorian Anxieties and Monstrous Forms
    BEHOLD THE BEAST: VICTORIAN ANXIETIES AND MONSTROUS FORMS By Ben Pascoe A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS Major Subject: English West Texas A&M University Canyon, Texas May 2019 ABSTRACT This paper seeks to analyze two examples of Victorian Gothic, the 1885 novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the 1897 novel Dracula as texts dealing with anxieties of degeneration, medicine, and addiction on the personal scale and a wider societal scale respectively. Both Dracula and Hyde represent monsters constructed as representatives of these anxieties in a direct and actionable form so that the audience could address their concerns. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMETS The Author would like to thank: his major advisor and committee members for their patience, help, and guidance; the various other faculty members who have contributed advice and assistance in the research and formatting of this paper. This thesis is dedicated to my family for their love and support through the attainment of my degree, the friends who have helped me along this journey, and the teachers who have helped me learn the skills to create it. iii Approved: [Chairman, Thesis Committee] [Date] [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] [Member, Thesis Committee] [Date] [Department Head/Direct Supervisor] [Date] [Dean, Academic College] [Date] [Dean, Graduate School] [Date] iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page CHAPTER 1: GOTHIC ANXIETIES .......................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 2: THE BEAST AMONG FRIENDS ...................................................... 30 Sex, Drugs, and Chemicals: The Vice Reading ................................................................ 34 Dr. Jekyll and Dr. Hyde: The Medical Reading ............................................................... 44 The Savage Gentleman: The Degenerative Reading ........................................................ 49 CHAPTER 3: THE BEAST AT THE GATES ..........................................................

  • Brides: Voluptuous Devils Or Fallen Angels? the Transgressive Sexuality of Female Vampires and Its Subversion in Bram Stoker's D
    Brides: Voluptuous Devils or Fallen Angels? The Transgressive Sexuality of Female Vampires and its Subversion in Bram Stoker's Dracula Introduction From the nineteenth century on, a vampire is by definition a highly erotic creature carrying in itself a strange mixture of nourishment, disease and sexuality, making it so threatening. It feeds on living people through an act of oral sexuality while spreading its own contagious illness. Especially if it is a female, it is highly likely that she would be depicted as a lecherous beast. Throughout the text, dozens of sexualised images can be encountered of both sexes but here the focus is limited to sexuality of vampire women. In this paper, I will analyse how feminine sexuality is conceived of and I will pay special attention to the subversive aspect of female vampiric sexual power in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Vampire -woman – a Fallen Angel? To begin with, one ought to note that there are indeed vampirised women in Dracula, a fact usually forgotten by readers of the novel and often left untouched by critics in connection with this masculine late-Victorian text. However, vampirism of the “weaker sex” is worth investigating especially in this specific repressive Victorian context. Turning women into vampires is seen as an extremely erotic feature because vampire women can be considered the most dreaded kind in this era: fallen women. Fallen women are the total opposite of the spiritual ideal, the “angel in the house” who has no body at all, hence creating what is “often referred to as the virgin/whore dichotomy” (Dionisopoulos and Leah 209).

  • 'Nosferatu' Revisted
    Fewster: 'Nosferatu' Revisted What is it about the Dracula narrative that is attractive dramatically? Its format is hardly exciting in that it is written as a series of letters. Similarly what could one possibly do in a theatrical production that has not been done? This would form the key research question that underlined my own subsequent production i.e. how does one approach such a classic? Indeed, when I ran a research seminar on the intended production, I was met with initial scepticism and resistance with a general response of “Why bother?” This is a fair question when one considers the plethora of dramatic renditions on stage and screen, in particular the ubiquitous vampire television series. Ultimately the answer to this question could only be explored through practice: textual in adapting the script, and physical in rehearsing the play. The capacity for Dracula and the vampires to turn into—variously—wolves, bats, rats and from smoke into the flesh of the living dead stimulated my creative thinking about how one might stage these transformations. I also began to imagine how an audience might literally follow the story’s protagonist, Jonathan Harker and his journey to Transylvania and back through everyday spaces such as corridors, café, paths and old buildings on the University Campus where I work. I re-read the Stoker novel and re-examined the two German films Nosferatu (1922 Dir. Friedrich Murnau) and the remake: Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979 Dir. Werner Herzog). As a playwright, I chose these sources for two reasons: I did not want to overload my creative sensibility with too much source material and the novel and the 1922 film are in my view historically the key transmitters of the Dracula fable.
