Publisher's Summary
Tom Hiddleston (The Night Manager) stars as Jonathan Harker, with David Suchet (Poirot) as Dracula in Liz Lochhead's powerful BBC radio adaptation of the classic novel by Bram Stoker.
When solicitor Jonathan Harker sets off for Transylvania to sell the mysterious Count Dracula a Gothic mansion, his bride-to-be, Mina, begs him to stay - to no avail. But on arrival at Dracula's castle, deep in a black forest surrounded by wolves, Harker wishes he had listened to his fiancée. The Count is welcoming but unnerving and his castle oppressive. Plagued by nightmares, Harker soon longs to leave.
Back in Whitby, Mina is increasingly worried. She has heard nothing from Jonathan, and now her sister, Lucy - newly engaged to Harker's friend, Dr Seward - is becoming pale and thin. In Seward's lunatic asylum in London, a madman named Renfield babbles about his master, who is coming. And as a midnight storm rages, a black ship heads towards the English coast....
Acclaimed poet and playwright Liz Lochhead's adaptation was first performed onstage in 1985, and this thrilling radio drama was broadcast on the World Service in 2006. Suspenseful, chilling and suffused with dark eroticism, it retains all the eerie dread of Stoker's infamous horror novel.

Entertaining, yet lacking
A enjoyed this, but it’s lacking any depth about Dracula & Mina, which gives the story heart. Was disappointed about that. Tom Hiddlestons performance was perfect,which carried it. Mina & Lucy’s voices & characters sound way too familiar. Mina comes off as a bit of a ditz. While Dracula’s voice is rich, there isn’t much depth in the character. The character of Renfield had way too much airplay, they could have taken out %75 of his time & put any kind of moment between Dracula & Mina. Their exposure to one another was a blip on the screen equivalent to a quick empty one night stand. Sound affects were good. Recommend listening to it on a drive at night to help make the experience more affective.

Amazing Performance
The voices are amazing. Only problem is that the whole story is dialogue based, so sometimes it is hard to pin point who is speaking at the beginning of a scene. Easy to lose track of who is who when there are 4 or more in the same scene,
I love the part where Jonathan is with Dracula, amazing performance by David Suchet and Tom Hiddleston.
