Hamilton Deane's stage adaptation of Dracula was the first authorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel. It was first performed in England in 1924. The script was significantly revised by John L. Balderston before the play opened on Broadway in 1927, and the revised version has been the basis for most subsequent productions of the play.The 1927 Broadway production starred Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Edward Van Sloan as Professor Van Helsing. It was a major influence on the 1931 film version, in which Lugosi and Van Sloan reprised their roles. Many Classical Movie Vampire tropes codified by the 1931 film originated in the play (the black cape with the High Collar of Doom, for instance, was designed as part of a disappearing effect).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The 1977 Broadway revival starring Frank Langella and featuring very memorable sets by Edward Gorey was the basis of the 1979 film version.Aside from Lugosi and Langella, later productions have seen the Count be played by Raúl Juliá, Jeremy Brett, and Terence Stamp.

In the revised version Lucy's entire subplot in the novel is cut, except for her being killed by Dracula, revived as a vampire, and killed again by Van Helsing, all of which happens off-stage and is related second-hand, so Lucy/Mina never appears in person. Two of her suitors, Quincey and Arthur, are dropped entirely, while Dr Seward becomes Mina/Lucy's father instead.

Adaptation Name Change: In the 1927 revised version, the play's Mina Weston is the equivalent of the novel's Lucy Westenra, while the play's Lucy Seward is the equivalent of the novel's Mina Murray, and Jonathan Harker's first name becomes John. (In the original 1924 version, they all have their original names).
