Act 2 Scene 9, 10, 11 & 12 - Development

Scene 9

In Bedlam. Nisbett and Grice are having a tea break, while Renfield has his attempts of warning them of Dracula. As he sais "Help us" the other lunatics will join him on the yells, only to be interrupted by Grice talking about the Bloofer Lady. At first, we didn't have much going on in this scene, until someone had the idea to have Lucy a.k.a. The Bloofer Lady come and lead the lunatics with her behind the audience. At the end of Grices speech, Lucy and the lunatics will come back on stage, scatter around, and with a simple hand movement Lucy does, the lunatics will fall down to the ground, dead.

Scene 10

Ticking sound starts. The chorus gets up from the ground to get to the positions for the next scene. Mina and Seward are up on the stage, Jonathan on the third step and Van Helsing on the second. Chorus will separate into three groups; two on either side of the steps in threes, mimicking the movements of the pendulum of a grandfather clock and one group recreating Jonathan's experience with the vampire brides

Red circles= The Chorus.
Chorus members middle of the floor stage are Jonathan of act 1, Lucy of act 1 and two other vampire brides.

   As Van Helsing hypnotizes Jonathan to remember the happenings at Castle Dracula, the ticking chorus members stop to stand in neutral. After Jonathan says in his speech "I am asleep." Me and the vampire brides and the front will slowly start walking towards each other. At the line "One, my head - aah!" Jade as a vampire bride will take my head and turn me so that I will be facing the audience. "Two, my legs, no!" Lucy will go to my right leg and as a bride caress it temptingly. "...the third one yes oh she down down down." Izzy will go in front of me and kneel down. "Her breath, sweet, too sweet..." She will start rising up to get ready to bite my neck. As this is happening I will also close my eyes and follow the speech lines accordingly, looking out and then down to Izzy. The line " I am six hundred years old, I am thousands of years old, I'm not just a little girl." will be repeated by the entire chorus, to make it as Jonathan is hearing the vampire say it again to him in his mind. As he yells "Mina!" the entire chorus will scatter around the front of the audience in a semi-circle to observe the rest of the scene as calmed down lunatics. The rest of the scene consist of discussion about Jonathans experience, Dracula and his influence, how to beat this creature and protecting Mina, since they know she would be the next victim. As the men and Van Helsing leave Mina to rest on the steps, they discuss The Bloofer Lady, revealing that she in fact is Lucy. After the scene ends, they will join the semi-circle as lunatics, leaving Mina alone on stage.

Scene 11

Renfield will run out from the other lunatics on to the stage, stating his little poem. He is soon chased by Grice and Nisbett, but Renfield kicks Grice in the groin to escape with the cheers of the other lunatics as his background music. Then the lunatics and the nurses will run off-stage as well, cheering.

Scene 12

Whilst having the faint cheers of lunatics on the background, Mina tries to pray, but failing. Then, a soft call of her name is heard. We had it so that the entire chorus would be a part of this repeating the lines "Mina", "Mrs Harker", "Listen", Let me in" and "Quick" in different loudnesses, times and ways to create a uncomfortable call of words lapping over each other. At the same time, the chorus will start walking in to stage, slowly and in a trans like manner. But as Mina forbids them with a loud yell, the chorus will stop and Renfield will jump out to warn Mina. But before he is able to finish, Brice and Nisbett will come out to capture Renfield again and take him back to his cell. At the same time the chorus will start backing down, disappearing into the darkness.
