About this event
The time is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. But poised between traditional beliefs, the threat of the unknown and the shock of the new world, an altogether darker fear is emerging. As a new shadow looms large over England, a small group of young men and women, lead by Professor Van Helsing, are plunged into an epic struggle for survival.
Stretching from London, through provincial England, to the mountainous wastes of Transylvania, Bram Stoker’s timeless gothic thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the unknown outside becoming the enemy within.
Adapted by Nick Lane, this brilliant, theatrical treatment of Bram Stoker’s adventure blends Victorian Gothic with the Contemporary, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark ensemble performance style and featuring a haunting soundscape, powerful performances and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.
POST SHOW Q&A
Friday 27th Sept
PART OF THEATRE CLUB
Wednesday 25 September 7.30pm
Enjoy theatre but don’t have a theatre buddy? Try Theatre Club. A bit like a book club, simply purchase a Theatre Club ticket (by choosing the Theatre Club ticket type at no extra charge) and join like-minded theatre lovers in the bar for a pre-show chat.
We will provide some background to the production, the writer, the theatre company and the actors to get you started. The Theatre Club area will be available for you to return to in the interval if you wish and, post-show, we invite you to continue the conversation at The Dog & Partridge where we have reserved a table for you.
Come alone or with a friend.
