The Grand Theatre Academy's chilling production of Bram Stoker's Dracula flies into the Lawrence House Studio on April 18. The classic vampire story by Bram Stoker is one of the Grand Theatre Academy's three main productions in the Lawrence House Studio for 2007.
This chillingly beautiful dramatisation of Stoker's famous horror tale by John Godber and Jane Thornton is the perfect production for the adult members of the Academy (aged 19 to 25).
You will meet not only the Count himself, but heroes Jonathan Harker and Abraham Van Helsing, plus an array of madmen, psychiatrists and fair maidens who cross paths with the fanged menace.
See the icy, stark and vivid images conjured by Bram Stoker's tale of the unresting vampire who must feed on the blood of others to survive. Share the terrifying tale of Jonathan Harker's trip to Transylvania and his ordeal as a guest of Count Dracula. Return to Britain to find Dr Van Helsing battling to save his wife's dearest friend - the ravishing Lucy, from the Count's overwhelming powers. Who is true object of Dracula's desire? Will evil be vanquished forever?
"I seek not gaiety nor mirth, not the bright voluptuousness of much sunshine and sparkling waters which please the young and gay. I am no longer young. And my heart, through heavy years of mourning over the dead, is not attuned to mirth. Moreover, the walls of my castle are broken; the shadows are many, and the wind breathes cold through the broken battlements and casements. I love the shade and the shadow, and would be alone with my thoughts when I may.....
"Whether man nor beast I could not tell...I could see a white face and red, gleaming eyes...Somehow his words and his looks did not seem to accord, or else it was that his cast of face made his look malignant and saturnine...." - from Dracula, Bram Stoker, 1897
