HORROR CLASSIC REIMAGINED
Dracula
Darlington Hippodrome
Tuesday 6th
to Saturday 10th November 2018
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.”
