Dracula (Lyric Hammersmith) description

Mina Harker has her husband’s old journal and a load of letters. But that's about it. As the only survivor of a horrific tragedy with Count Dracula at its heart, she has seen some terrible things. Armed with her wits and supported by a group of trusted allies, she sets out to seek the truth. This is Dracula at Lyric Hammersmith, the story of Count Dracula and his journey to England as told by Mina. But is it really just a story or could something much more sinister be afoot?
