"No cut finger or noseblood quite prepares one for the sheer volume of redness - bright bright redness - as can spill and spurt from the frame."

R.M. Renfield is one of the most enigmatic characters of Bram Stoker's Dracula - second only, perhaps, to the eponymous count himself. But how did he become the henchman of the vampire? Those answers are sought after in this riveting, intimate drama. We meet him as a young man in Victorian England, with a home life not so extraordinary... But a fascination with blood starts early, followed soon by a mysterious premonition, and a dark voice promises him riches to come.

Part 1 of an original radioplay by Marty Ross, produced by Wireless Theatre Limited, about Dracula's henchman, R.M. Renfield.
