Renfield or, Dining at the Bughouse
Loosely based on the insect-eating madman from “Dracula,” Renfield sits in his room at the asylum, awaiting his Master's arrival. Told at times from the point-of-view of the insects he has eaten, Renfield’s troubled past is revealed. Bizarre, poetic and moving. CW: Child abuse.
