The Old Nick has a great programme of plays for all ages during the autumn season.
DRACULA: ONE BLOODY FANG AFTER ANOTHER
They start with a hilarious and scary take on Bram Stoker’s famous story Dracula: One Bloody Fang After Another on Friday 11th October at 7.30pm. Advance tickets are £10.00 and on the door £12.00. It is Whitby, England, in 1897. A haunting, paranormal force has gripped the town. The young Lucy Westenra is taken ill and psychiatrist Doctor Seaward calls on his teacher Professor Van Helsing to discuss her symptoms. The Professor has a perplexing diagnosis — Lucy carries all the symptoms of a vampire’s latest victim. So begins a frenzied stab at trying to uncloak Count Dracula as the vampire in their midst. Sadly, it gets quite misty in Whitby at times. Bram Stoker’s immortal horror story is given an affectionate lampooning in this physical, riotous comedy. Now, it is truly horrific.
