@ctpublic: 🧛🏼 "Fear. An emotional response to feelings of threat. Fight or flight or freeze. It can be essential in the survival of our species. It is learnt as well as innate. It is the creeping dread as you strain to hear the sound that woke you at night. It is what tells you to stick to the light side of the street. It is what fuels your disgust and keeps you from tasting something unknown to you. It is what keeps you from stepping too far out of line. It is what keeps you in your place." These are the opening lines of the new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” that’s making its U.S. debut at Hartford Stage. Connecticut has it's own sordid history with a widespread fear of the unknown leading to the New England vampire panic — but this "Dracula" adaptation blends classic themes with the fears of today. More than just being scary, this version is actually about fear.
