HORROR CLASSIC REIMAGINED
Prepare for the fright of your life as the gothic vampire classic, Dracula, comes to Darlington Hippodrome from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 10 November.
Dracula is one of the most universally iconic
novels ever written. A monumental, genre defining classic that is known the
world over. Dracula remains the father of all vampire tales and this autumn an
all new production sees the bloodthirsty tale resurrected as part of a
nine-week tour, set to receive its most terrifying staging ever.
Sexy, dark and thrilling, this brand-new stage
adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic tale of obsession and horror is brought to
opulent and irresistible life in a contemporary interpretation that includes
all the definitive characters. Ben Hart’s incredible illusion design will
create an atmosphere of spine-chilling fear as audiences are shaken to their
very core.
Completely re-imagined by an exciting creative
team, discover the story that started them all. In Transylvania, enter the
castle of Count Dracula and his three brides. The Count, who feeds on the
elixir of young blood to look youthful, will take you on a deliciously evil
ride as he pursues his victims and encounters Jonathan Harker, Professor Van
Helsing and Dr. Seward along the way.
Director Eduard Lewis said “audiences can
expect to be scared and entertained and have a really great, unique night at
the theatre. It’s a really exciting play but it’s not just a play, it’s a show
with exciting music and fascinating illusions and some brilliant acting. We
have an amazing script by Jenny King that has robust, interesting characters,
on top of which we’ve got some amazing production effects, Ben Hart is doing
some brilliant illusions for us and there’s an original score by our composer Paul
Ewing that’s going to really lift the whole piece.”
Dracula runs at
Darlington Hippodrome from Tuesday 6 to Saturday 10 November.
