I'm looking for the 1924 script of Dracula

[Karantalsis]

I am looking for the 1924 script for Dracula and I can't find a copy anywhere, for sale as a book, or online. As I am trying to stage a production of Dracula and was hoping to use this version of the script this is, naturally, quite vexing. I wonder, therefore, if anyone here may be able to point me in the right direction, as internet searches are proving quite fruitless. I merely find pages and pages of people comenting on the history of the play, with no indication on how to access the work itself.

Hi,
I've just joined this site, so this information may no longer be of any use-the best you'll find is DRACULA dramatized by Hamilton Deane and John L.Balderstone, published by Samuel French Inc. This is based on a 1929 update of the 1924 text originally written by Hamilton Deane, an English actor-manager, who toured the play in England. Balderstone revised the text for it's Broadway production which starred Bela Lugosi.
Although Bram Stoker did produce his own playscript, this was more of a dramatized reading given at the Lyceum Theatre( principally to protect copyright), this version is not especially stage worthy and has, I think, only recently been published and is not widely available.
There are many published adaptations of Dracula, I'd also steer anyone interested in stage versions of the story to David Skal's "Hollywood Gothic", Skal has also produced an annotated version of the 1924-29 playscripts.
Hope that's of interest
Bob
