Cream of Cornish: Dracula The Vampyr

Beware. He is unearthed. He is coming. Keep your windows locked and gather the garlic!

Beware. He is unearthed. He is coming. Keep your windows locked and gather the garlic! The team that brought you The Odyssey, Canterbury Tales and A Christmas Carol now revive their version of Bram Stoker’s classic tale of the vampire. Devised and written in their inimitable, irreverent style, Rabbit Theatre bring you a better and bloodier one-man performance- Dracula: the Vampyr!

Starring Kneehigh Theatre veteran, David Mynne, expect bats and more bats; garlic and gore; lunatics and lady vampires! They’re all here in this adaptation of the most famous of all gothic horrors…

Be warned: this monstrous, disturbing and completely batty tale of dark deeds (and the undead) will thrill and seduce you… deliciously dark! Horribly hair-raising! Spectacularly silly!

Suitable for 12+
Loosely based on the novel by Bram Stoker and adapted by Andrew McPherson.
Script by Simon Harvey and David Mynne.
Directed by Simon Harvey.
