    This bold, theatrical reimagining of Dracula retells the classic gothic tale from a powerful new point of view, transforming a familiar story into a chilling exploration of fear, desire, power, and survival!

This class has to be one of my favorite classes from this semester. I loved being able to take trips to different places and learn about Hartford writers. The professor was amazing when it came to making learning the topic, he made it enjoyable.
