Here is some background information on the Dracula from which Bram Stoker -- and Jeanne Kalogridis -- were inspired: Prince Vlad Tepes, born , died , ruler of the lands now known as Romania. Vlad Tepes which Kalogridis spells phonetically in English as Tsepesh was born in the town of Sighisoara in Transylvania now known as northern Romania in and later came to rule that area of southern Romania known as Wallachia. The word "tepes" in Romanian means "impaler" -- and Vlad was so-named because of his penchant for impalement as a means of punishing his enemies. Impalement was a particularly gruesome form of execution, wherein the victim was impaled between the legs -- to put it politely -- upon a large, sharpened stake the width of a burly man's arm.

And however modern commentators may see her, Lucrezia was certainly at the epicentre of some pretty murky power politics in the southern Europe of her day Donizetti composed prolifically in an operatic tradition nowadays usually referred to as bel canto — which literally means beautiful singing. But, in fact, you need a good deal more than just a fine voice to allow his works to make their proper impact — keen attention to text and focused acting are just as important. Here, in a traditional production by Eloise Lally, with handsome period designs by Adam Wiltshire and Cordelia Chisholm and magnificent costumes by Wiltshire, the cast delivers on every level. History may have judged Lucrezia, but as the soprano amply demonstrates in her broadly sympathetic portrayal, the composer undoubtedly takes her side. Conductor Gerry Cornelius, meanwhile, maintains a powerful sense of dynamism. Reviews Reviews.

They remained "blissfully wed" for what was said to be a total of eight months. She was also co-script editor with David J Howe. Of course, the whole point of Lucrezia retelling her story is to find out who the demon stalking Gabriele and Lilly is. Award winning genre writer Sam Stone began writing aged 11 after reading her first adult fiction book, The Collector by John Fowles. He was buried at one of the monasteries he patronized, on the island at Snagov. He was a respected as a warrior and stern ruler who tolerated no crime against his people, and during his reign erected several monasteries. Hence the diminutive "-a" on his son's name, Dracula. I love this one because it's a lot different than others, most obviously because "vampires" aren't sex symbols, they're mindless monsters that necromancers possess and ride around in.
