'DRACULA - Love stronger than Death' word van 20 Augustus tot 4 September in die Ou Meulteater in die Paarl opgevoer. 'n Magtige kryger - Prins Vlad, wat die kruis beskerm het om die kerk teen alle vyande te beskerm - keer terug van die Turkse gevegsfront om sy geliefde dood te vind aan haar eie hand weens misleiding deur sy vyande. Onvraaglike pyn en woede ly die jong prins daartoe om wraak te neem vir haar dood. Hy staan op uit die dode as 'n gevalle engel. Vervloek om deur die eeue te swerf, oorleef hy op lewende bloed. Vir altyd verdoem om so te doen, vind hy weer sy ware liefde - vier honderd jaar later in die laat negentiende eeuse Londen. Die stuk is aangepas deur en onder regie van Zetti van den Heuvel.
