Dracula: A Radio Play

Here we are in October, the spookiest season! The Pourquoi-Pas? Players (of which Karin is a founding member) are preparing to celebrate the macabre and uncanny by way of a radio play, in three parts, adapted from Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel Dracula. This is made possible by the lovely people at CHMR 93.5 FM, the MUN radio station, who have lent us their studios to record so that we can avoid any instances of audio demons.

These ads were recorded in the studios and edited by Christina Acton, our valiant sound editor.

Dracula: A Radio Play airs weekly from October 23rd to November 6th, with three main episodes and two bonus mini-episodes available online afterward.

We had to use that theme music once — but only once.
Two familiar voices from Corentin in Quarantine are joined by a new player.
