The year 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, led 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 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 Dracula 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.

Reviews
Set pieces such as Dracula's brides crawling out from the castle's foundations and one character's bones being crushed by the count's powers of mind control are unnervingly effectiveThe Stage
The production is unquestionably a success, delivered with style, panache, and chutzpah and received a deserved warm ovation at the final curtainBehind the Arras
A terrific thriller in run-up to Halloween... Eerie music and ethereal vocals add delicious drama to the 19th century gothic horror taleDerby World
