About
Bram Stoker’s timeless gothic thriller is brought to life in Nick Lane’s brilliant, theatrical adaptation, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark ensemble style. With a haunting soundscape, powerful performances and innovative design, it’s an exhilarating theatrical experience.
The time is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. 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 timeless gothic thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the unknown outside becoming the enemy within.
Blending Victorian Gothic with the contemporary, this production offers rich material for English, Drama and History lessons, from gothic conventions to Victorian attitudes to science and fear. A captioned performance runs on Fri 2 Oct, and additional school performances are available on request – please get in touch for details.
