Bram Stoker’s classic spine-tingler “Dracula” is getting all-new adaptations from Audible — in seven different languages, each with its own full-cast audio recording.
Audible is adapting the Gothic horror novel for English, Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Each production features a full ensemble cast.
The English-language production of Audible’s “Dracula” stars Jonathan Bailey (“Wicked,” “Bridgerton”) as Dracula, Ella Purnell (“Fallout”) as Mina, Aimee Lou Wood (“The White Lotus”) as Lucy, Louis Partridge (“Enola Holmes”) as Jonathan, David Jonsson (“Industry”) as Dr. Seward, Lesley Manville (“Phantom Thread”) as Mrs. Westenra and Maggie Gyllenhaal (“The Dark Knight”) as Professor Van Helsing.
Leading the international language casts as Dracula and Mina respectively are Omar Sy and Deva Cassel (French); Riccardo Scamarcio and Benedetta Porcaroli (Italian); Matthias Schweighöfer and Jeanne Goursaud (German); Asier Etxeandía and Claudia Salas (Castilian Spanish); and José María de Tavira and Esmeralda Pimentel (LatAm Spanish).
Here’s the story of “Dracula,” as summarized by Audible: When her fiancé vanishes in Transylvania, Mina Murray pieces together fragments of letters, diary entries and chilling testimony to hunt the predator stalking those she loves, only to discover he’s already hunting her. When Mina’s closest friend Lucy succumbs to his thrall, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is summoned to wage war on this unfathomable threat. But it is Mina, with her intellect, her resolve, her gift for drawing unseen lines between clues, who may hold the key to stopping this ancient predator — if he hasn’t already found his way inside her mind.
