Discover the truth in this electrifying original show
We're getting in touch to let you know that the most famous gothic horror story of all time, Dracula, is coming to our stage on Thu 17 and Fri 18 February. However, all is not as to be expected in this incredible new show.
What if everything we thought we knew – was just the beginning? What if it’s not a story – but a warning! What if the legend – is real!
Are you ready to join James Gaddas (Bad Girls, Coronation Street, Medics) on his search for the truth?
Dracula is brought to you by a tremendously talented creative team. Directed by Pip Minnithorpe (Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, Mamma Mia); original music by acclaimed actor turned composer Jeremy Swift (Downton Abbey, Ted Lasso), and illusion design by Olivier award winner John Bulleid (The Worst Witch, Doctor Who - Time Fracture, Death of a Salesman).
When Gaddas comes across Bram Stoker's original handwritten copy while working on a satellite channel TV show, what he reads chills him to the bone.
From strange encounters in the Count’s castle in Transylvania, to his ghostly arrival on a ship of death off the coast of Whitby, through midnight seductions and a heroic pursuit across Europe, racing against the setting of the sun – all have served to thrill and excite readers in equal measure. But this copy contains pages never actually published and leads him to a terrifying discovery.
Gaddas powerfully captures the imagination as he shares what he has found in this electrifying stage show. One actor, fifteen characters, one monumental decision. Are some things – better left buried?!

Nobody
⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Combines spectacular strength and elegance...impossible to look away." - Guardian
In this strikingly visual performance by Motionhouse, we follow seven characters as they negotiate the ever-changing world around them. Fast-moving and highly physical, Nobody combines mesmerising choreography with a unique dance-circus style.
Also watch as the world on stage magically transforms by the use of digital projections and a shape-shifting set that cleverly creates a constantly changing environment where nothing is quite what it seems...
