May 3, 1885
LATE AFTERNOON
Outside Castle Dracula
Jonathan Harker approaches
>From the diary of Jonathan Harker: "May 3, 1885. At last my
long journey is growing to its close. What the eventual end
will be, I cannot forsee. But whatever may happen, I can rest
secure that I will have done all in my power to achieve success.
The last lap of my journey, from the village of Klausenberg,
proved to the more difficult than I had anticipated due to the
reluctance on the part of the coach driver to take me all the
way. However, as there was no other transport available, I was
forced to travel the last few kilometers on foot before arriving
at Castle Dracula. The castle appeared innocuous enough in the
warm afternoon sun, and it all seemed normal but for one
thing--there were no birds singing. As I crossed the wooden
bridge and entered the gateway, it suddenly seemed to become
much colder due, no doubt, to the icy waters of the mountain
stream I had just crossed. However, I deemed myself lucky to
have secured this post, and did not intend to falter in my
purpose."
Harker enters the Castle
The Castle Parlour
Harker reads letter left on table laden with food
HARKER: "My dear Harker, I am sorry I was unable to meet you.
Eat well, make yourself comfortable. Dracula."
LATER THAT EVENING
Harker, meal finished, begins to write in diary
Enter woman
HARKER: Im sorry. I didnt hear you come in. My names
Jonathan Harker. Im the new librarian.
WOMAN: You will help me, wont you? Say you will, please.
HARKER: How can I help you?
WOMAN: Take me away from here.
HARKER: But why?
WOMAN: Hes keeping me prisoner.
HARKER: Who is? Count Dracula? Im afraid I dont understand.
WOMAN: Oh, please! Please, help me to escape.
Exit Woman
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: Mr. Harker, Im glad that you have arrived safely.
HARKER: Count Dracula?
DRACULA: I am Dracula. And I welcome you to my house. I must
apologize for not being here to greet you personally, but I
trust that you have found everything you needed?
HARKER: Thank you, sir. It was most thoughtful.
DRACULA: It was the least I could do after such a journey.
HARKER: Yes, it is a long journey.
DRACULA: And tiring for you, no doubt. Permit me to show you
to your room.
HARKER: (picking up suitcase) Thank you, sir.
DRACULA: Please, allow me. Unfortunately, my housekeeper is
away at the moment. A family bereavement, you understand.
HARKER: Yes, of course.
DRACULA: However, I think you will find that everything has
been prepared for your comfort.
HARKER: How soon may I start work, sir?
DRACULA: As soon as you wish. There are a large number of
volumes to be indexed.
Harkers Bedchamber
Harker and Dracula enter
DRACULA: Is there anything else you require, Mr. Harker?
HARKER: No, I dont think so. Youve been very kind.
DRACULA: On the contrary, it is entirely my privilege. I
consider myself fortunate to have found such a distinguished
scholar to act as my librarian.
HARKER: I like quiet and seclusion. This house, I think,
offers that.
DRACULA: Then we are both satisfied. An admirable arrangement.
But there is just one more thing, Mr. Harker. I have to go
out, and I will not be back until after sundown tomorrow. But,
until then, please look upon this house as your own. Good
night, Mr. Harker.
HARKER: Good night, sir.
Exit Dracula
HARKER: (begins to unpack)
Enter Dracula
DRACULA: As I shall be away for so long, I think it better that
you should have a key to the library, Mr. Harker.
HARKER: Thank you.
DRACULA: You will find the library to the left of the hall.
(points to picture on bureau) May I?
HARKER: Yes, certainly.
DRACULA: (picking up picture) Your wife?
HARKER: No, my fiancee.
DRACULA: You are a very fortunate man, Mr. Harker. May I ask
her name?
HARKER: Lucy...Lucy Holmwood.
DRACULA: Charming...charming.
HARKER: Youre very kind.
DRACULA: Good night. Sleep well, Mr. Harker.
Exit Dracula, locking door behind him
HARKER: (writes in diary) "At last I have met Count Dracula.
He accepts me as a man who has agreed to work among his
books...as I intended. It only remains for me now to await the
daylight hours when, with Gods help, I will forever end this
mans reign of terror."
LATER
Harker, dozing in chair, is awakened by doorknob turning
Harker opens bedroom door, and looks up and down hallway
Sees parlour door close
The Parlour
Enter Harker
WOMAN: (appearing from behind door) Mr. Harker, you will help
me?
HARKER: If its still possible. But, tell me, why is Count
Dracula keeping you prisoner?
WOMAN: I cannot tell you th
