Dracula

'These creatures need blood, yeah? And anything somebody needs has a price.' 1893. A woman falls sick at her wedding and starts to have violent nightmares. A missing man is discovered in a convent in Bucharest. A sea captain's body is recovered from a shipwreck with a deep wound to his neck. 2026. Millie is in mourning for her sister, but suddenly Lorna is alive again – and she's feeling very thirsty. Tatty Hennessy's bold and bloodthirsty adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula is a time-hopping exploration of fear, consumption and greed. It was first performed by the National Youth Theatre in 2026, directed by Atri Banerjee – and offers a feast of theatrical possibilities for other companies.
