Dracula

The Good Review
” a wickedly innovative version of Dracula…Over the last nine years Blackeyed Theatre has been building a reputation for quality story-telling laced with originality, and their latest production is no exception. Sticking faithfully to Bram Stoker’s original Gothic horror novel, but playing with performance style Blackeyed Theatre has created a show which is entertaining for both its story-telling and theatrics in equal measure “
