Friends may scall at the Funeral Home Tuesday 7 to Clash of styles fatal to 'Count Dracula By Jeffrey Borak Journal staff writer NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. It's obvious from his stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel that Ted Tiller did not take the story of Dracula very seriously. Neither do director Joel Friedman, actor Farley Granger and the- -rest of the cast of Tiller's campy "Count Dracula" which began a one-week run Monday at Candlewood Area Theatre. There is nothing really wrong with camp even when it exists for its own sake and I suppose one couldn't ask for better material for camp than this gripping tale of a legendary creature who commands the night half dead, half living prowling in search of sources of lifesustaining blood which he draws from the necks of his helpless, vulnerable victims. Tiller's script is good, solid melodrama with a roguish sense of humor and wit threading its way through this tale of terrors.

Its success on stage depends on its sense of theatrical style and flair. The chief problem with this "Count Dracula" is its indecision over what kind of approach it wants to take to the material. It is high camp, it is dramatic stapstick, it is melodrama it is all these things and succeeds at being none of them. Predictably, the production's greatest successes are achieved in its most consistently robust, tongue-incheek performances: from the attractive Caryn West as Dracula's 'Marco Millions' to open at Sharon SHARON, Conn. Eugene O'Neill's rarely historical epic, "Marco Millions," begins a twoweek run at Sharon Playhouse tonight at 8:30.

The production is being directed by Walter A. Fairservis, co-managing director of the playhouse and a full professor of anthropology at Vassar College. Performances are slated Tuesday through Saturday evenings at 8:30 through Aug. 12. Tracing Marco Polo's journey from Venice to Rome, Persia, India and Mongolia to the court of -the Chinese Emperor Kublai Kahn, the play focuses on the love of the young Chinese princess Kukachin for Marco Polo.

The play was first performed in New York in January 1928 in a Theatre Guild production which featured Alfred Lunt as Marco Polo, Morris Carnovsky as the Pope and Margalo Gilmore as the princess. Among those new faces appearing with Sharon's resident Equity company for this production will be Elf Fairservis as the princess, R.C. Lawson as the Oriental stage manager, Brock Putnam as Kahn and Stuart Zagnit as Maffeo, Polo's younger brother. Drawing on Chinese comedy and other Asian theatrical styles, the production features dance, mime, original music composed for this production, Indian shadow puppets, hand calligraphed banners and a display of Oriental art work lining the theater walls. Fairservis has traveled extensively through the Far East and has led expeditions to Egypt, Pakistan and the first archeological expedition ever to Afghanistan.

He is the consultant for the new Asian Halls exhibit at the Museum of Natural East" exhibit at the museum. He also wrote the book which accompanied that exhibit. Sharon Playhouse is five miles east of Amenia on Route 343.

Stuckmann's Van Helsing is a superb creation; robust and rich. He prowls the stage like a rumpled bear; his hands, with a will of their own, flailing the air like a man besieged by flies.

His lengthy speech in which he describes the nature of vampires is hair-raising and positively chilling. Louise Kirtland has some delightful moments as a somewhat scatterbrained, chocolate-eating Sybil Seward who Dracula uses to further his own ends. There is a kind of rude arrogance in Farley Granger's Dracula. It is a curious quality which dilutes the Count's menacing and hypnotic presence. Review COUNT DRACULA.

CANDLEWOOD AREA THEATRE; Routes 37 and 39, New Fairfield, Conn. It is really the kind of production in which the cast members spend so much time making fun of material that they never let the script's built-in sense of suspense and tongue-in-cheek spirit shine through on its own. In the end, the clash of styles affects this production in the same manner in which a transfusion of different blood types affects a patient: it is fatal.
