Balderston was hired to revise it.  Bela Lugosi played the title role on stage and in the 1931 film.  Frank Langella followed suit on Broadway in 1977, and starred in the 1979 film.  It's thrilling entertainment for the whole family!  "Pure escape and great fun." - New York Post Wednesdays through Saturdays, July 27 through Sept. 3 at 8:30 p.m. First Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes St Admission: $32 general, $27 seniors (age 62+) and those with disabilities and their companions, $17 full-time students and military/veterans; children 12 and under free.
