Monmouth Community Players is also prolonging the creepy season with “Dracula.” Hamilton Deane was an Irish actor and playwright who wrote the stage version of Stoker’s story in 1924. Three years later, it was revised by American writer John L. Balderston. In this version, Abraham Van Helsing investigates the strange sickness of a woman named Lucy Seward. A grim discovery is made and darkness ensues in thrilling, heart-staking fashion.
