Description

In 1924, Bram Stoker’s famous novel was adapted for the first time here in Derby. Alex Davis, a Researcher on the University of Derby’s Dracula Returns to Derby project, discusses how Dracula became one of the all-time most adapted characters. For every Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, there’s an adaptation that even Bram Stoker could never have dreamed of. Alex explores some of the most obscure and unexpected versions of Dracula, from the wild west to the discos of 1970s New York to the far-flung reaches of space – and everything in between!
