Sold out: Dracula
- Artists
- Liz Lochhead, Bram Stoker
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School gives us what promises to be a hugely atmospheric rendering of Liz Lochhead’s dramatisation of the Dracula story, in the Loco Klub beneath Temple Meads.
“Experience the terror of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in
this eerie and immersive production deep in the
underground caverns of Temple Meads station.
“Solicitor Jonathan Harker arrives at Count Dracula’s
crumbling mansion deep in Transylvania to provide legal assistance. The Count has bought a castle next to an asylum in England and plans to travel over to take up his
new residence.
“Back in England at the asylum, an inmate is refusing hospital food, living off insects and birds whilst babbling about his master who is coming with the promise of
eternal life.
“Then, as a storm rages in the dead of night a black ship heads towards the English coast…
“Poetic and psychologically gripping, Liz Lochhead’s Dracula is a raw and sultry stage adaptation of Bram
Stoker’s hugely influential novel.”
“NB immersive performance. There will be seating around for those that need it as we move through the tunnels. After the interval the audience will have the
opportunity to sit for a significant portion of the action. There is disabled access but the floor is
uneven in places and some parts of the show will be in limited
lighting. We encourage you to wear sturdy shoes and wrap up warm
in dark coloured clothing. We kindly request that high heels are not worn. Ushers will be on hand
should you need assistance.”
Mon-Sat 7.30pm (Sat 10 3pm & 8pm), plus Thur 15 & Sat 17 2.30pm, £17/£12 concs. Ages 12+.
