This 10-scene Readers’ Theater adapts the silent film Nosferatu into a Stephen King‑esque thriller, immersing students in Wisborg’s plague‑ridden nightmare as Count Orlok’s shadow corrupts from afar. With only eight characters, it’s ideal for small groups or centers, giving each reader more meaningful participation. The script centers Hutter’s fateful journey, Ellen’s haunting visions, and Orlok’s silent predation—probing isolation, sacrifice, and lingering evil while building fluency and analysis.
