Dracula
Downing College Gardens
(19 November - 23 November, 2006 )
A unique theatrical event staged outside, this was an ambitious and adventurous project. The audience sat all snug in a heated marquee while the action happened in a dark and eerie setting escaping out into the night, lights and mist provided a brilliant but scary atmosphere. The script closely based on the original written especially for the production presented the gothic, frightening story that made Dracula a horror classic.
"Enriching the atmosphere and chilling the audience... the production is extremely well conceived... hauntingly effective... The image of Lucy resting in her open coffin is likely to stay with you long after the lights go down, and follow you into bed."
