Dracula

David Mynne's popular show returns to the Acorn

David Mynne – Veteran Cornish actor, storyteller and a founder member of Kneehigh.

DRACULA: the Vampyr

‘I am the last of my kind. Let them pursue me to the ends of the earth. I shall be waiting…’

Following the success of David’s first show, ‘Great Expectations’, Dracula was born. Now, almost ten years on, it’s time for the Count to rise once more…

Beware. He is unearthed. And he is coming. Keep your windows locked, and hang up the garlic!

Written and performed in our inimitable and irreverent style, this brand-new adaptation of Stoker’s famous gothic horror brings you a better and bloodier, one-man performance of Dracula: the Vampyr!

There are Bats. And more bats. Garlic and gore galore. Vicious Vampirellas and a psychiatrist who smokes a pipe!

Be warned: this monstrous, unnatural and utterly batty tale of the undead will thrill and beguile you!

It’s Dark! It’s Disturbing! It’s Daft!

For adults and older children (12+)

Loosely based on the story by Bram Stoker and adapted by Andrew McPherson. Script by Simon Harvey and David Mynne. Directed by Simon Harvey (Assistant Director Millie Jones). Performed by David Mynne. Tour co-ordinated by Millie Jones

Reviews from the first tour:

“It’s a terrific show, charming, funny, beautifully told, and suitably scary. Stoker’s gothic novel has been perfectly pared down by writer Andrew McPherson, sharply directed by Simon Harvey, and Mynne’s performance is exquisite: a masterclass in the telling of tales, it needs to be seen” – Ciaran Clarke: Arts End of Nowhere

“AS BRILLIANT as it is batty, this production is a triumph for all concerned. Who else would even dream of bringing us a piece of theatre centred around blood in which not a drop of it is seen to be spilled, other than David Mynne and Simon Harvey who gave us the award-winning Great Expectations?…Not to be missed, you’ll be sorry if you do” – Frank Ruhrmund: Western Morning News
