Dracula at the Shakespeare Festival

On Wednesday the 19th, my entire English class headed to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery to see Brahm Stoker's Dracula! I was very excited. The last time I had been to the Shakespeare Festival was to see Beauty and the Beast in Middle School! The play was very different from the book, I think they adapted it very well. They had many special pyrographic effects that helped to make the anti-climatic parts very exciting.  The added two new characters Mrs. Sullivan and her lover; they added a lot to the story. Renfield was hilarious! In the book, he was the most stupid annoying character, but he added a lot of comic relief in the play. Afterwards, I had a relaxing lunch at the Panera Bread in East Chase and then we had a few minutes to shop. East Chase Shoppes is such a neat area with many nice stores; I am looking forward to it being very near to Auburn :) We headed towards home and got stuck in traffic in Greenville. It was a very pleasant day and a well needed break from school.
