Symbolism in the play
I thought it would be a great idea to use the colour red throughout the play to symbolise blood, as seen in the Shining,1980

Another idea is to play on sexuality, sexuality in the Victorian era was something of a taboo and something that is very interesting to play with in this play.
Sexuality Symbolisms:
Woman in this era were portrayed as classy, proper and sophisticated and exclude sexual tendancies or desires, but it is the underlying human nature and yet it is forbidden in this era? but this forbidden lust is what drives Lucy to continuously allow Dracula to feed off, which then brings on more symbolisms of sadism and masochism, someone of which derives pleasure from either inflicting or receiving pain off another individual.
