A new version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula adapted and performed by James Gaddas (‘Bad Girls’, ‘Coronation Street’) has been announced.
The most famous Gothic horror story of all time, few stories capture the imagination more powerfully than Dracula.
But when James Gaddas comes across Bram Stoker’s original handwritten copy while working on a satellite channel TV show, what he reads chills him to the bone.
From strange encounters in the Count’s castle in Transylvania, to his ghostly arrival on a ship of death off the coast of Whitby, through midnight seductions and a heroic pursuit across Europe, racing against the setting of the sun – all have served to thrill and excite readers in equal measure.
But this copy contains pages never actually published and leads him to a terrifying discovery. What if everything we thought we knew – was just the beginning. What if it’s not a story – but a warning!
In this thrilling new stage production, James Gaddas brings the original version to life, before sharing his shocking discovery in an electrifying finale.
Directed by Pip Minnithorp (UK Associate Director – ‘Harry Potter and The Cursed Child’), Original Music by Jeremy Swift (composer and acclaimed actor – ‘Downtown Abbey’, ‘Ted Lasso’), Illusion Design by John Bulleid (illusions behind Olivier Award-Winning ‘The Worst Witch’).
Dracula will tour 32 venues across the UK from Monday 7 February, 2022. Full tour details can be found here.
