A bold new adaptation of the classic, described as visceral, unsettling and atmospheric, exploring power and the darkness beneath civility.
Dracula runs at the Swindon Arts Centre on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, a bold new adaptation of the classic. It's a two-night run, with the curtain going up at 7:30pm on Friday and two shows on Saturday: a 2:30pm matinee and another 7:30pm evening performance.
The story is set on the edge of a new century, when a society built on reason and order begins to fracture as something ancient crosses its borders. It follows the threat across drawing rooms, asylums and a haunted coastline, where an unseen force feeds on fear, desire and repression. The production is framed as an exploration of power, appetite and the darkness beneath civility, and it's described as visceral, unsettling and atmospheric.
