The Sprouting

Starstrider Productions presents:

The year is 2004. Flip-phones are in vogue, MySpace has just been launched, and Britney Spears’ Toxic is top of the charts. And Castle Dracula is about to receive a young guest for dinner…

Armed with only his dictaphone, newly-minted solicitor Jonathan Harker has taken the Eurostar out of Britain and travelled to the depths of Romania, where phone service and peace of mind have become a thing of the past. But Jonathan isn’t the only one in the toils: he’s just unwittingly given a bloodsucking monster unfettered access to London’s teeming millions, and he, his friends and Mina, the love of his life, are in grave danger.

A found-footage extravaganza, Dracula: 2004 dares to ask what happens when you combine vampires and dial-up internet. Join Jonathan as he survives the work trip from hell; gossip with Mina and Lucy over Lucy’s three suitors; and meet the eccentric Van Helsing and her vampire-hunting armoury. This is a new millennium, a new age of technology, and a version of Dracula that you have never experienced before.

Dear Listener,

The group have learned of a plot by the Sickles to get two of the fire orchids away from Korentus, and armed with such knowledge, seek an audience with the prisoner being kept in a cabin seperate from the others. Is the knowledge that they seek, truly worth tangling directly with a Sickle for?

I guess you're about to find out.

Thanks to Jay for voicing James!

Dear Listener,

Pocketing the howl that Lark recorded over night, the trio take Helena to task about her revelation to Sully. With the Government potentially about to be breathing down their necks, Zlata's Grace proves Lark's previous experience true, but what will it say about the situation in Korentus?
