A hilariously imaginative retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic novel, Dracula: The Bloody Truth will take audiences on a journey from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby and into the world of the supernatural, where they will thrillingly reveal that the events recorded in 1897 were not fiction at all, but fact!
A talented cast of four actors will take on an abundance of characters, from the sensible Jonathan Harker and eccentric Professor Abraham Van Helsing, to the infamous vampire, Dracula, and three of his deadly wives. Directed by renowned comedy director John Nicholson, this theatrical treat is packed full of song, dance, shadow puppets and even some Victorian parlour tricks, all delivered with sharp comic timing, clever dialogue and whimsical horseplay.
