SYNOPSIS: After inheriting Uncle George’s country mansion, Lou excitedly packs his bags and decides to explore his uncle’s sprawling country estate with his friend, Casey. Expecting to find a palatial mansion on a peaceful back road not far from town, Lou and Casey discover a dilapidated old home with curtains made out of cobwebs and a spooky coffin in the middle of the room. Tired and hungry, the boys decide to search for food and a place to sleep and soon discover they’re being watched by Dracula’s hungry wives, Lydia age 472, Elena, 95 years younger, and Shy, no spring chicken. This leads to a ravenous romp as Lou and Casey try to avoid becoming dinner for this group of restless, not to mention, fanged women.

"This play was so much fun to perform. The physical comedy and the relationships between the characters are great components of this play."
By Renee Hounsell - Director - Appomattox County High School
If you remember and love the old Abbott and Costello films then you'll enjoy doing this production. The setting can be as simple as you want or if possible as "Gothic" as you can make it. It should be a little creepy at times just like the old monster movies were, but also in that vein, a lot of fun.
