Bloodthirsty talent
Dracula creeps into Calgary this month, drawing us to the theatre the same way Halloween candy draws us to yet another year of trick-or-treating. At first, we are lured by the mainstream chocolate bar: Dracula himself, played by veteran actor and former “All My Children” star John LeClerc.
