Dracula

3 MARCH – 14 APRIL 2018
BLACKWELL’S BOOKSHOP, OXFORD

“There is a poison in my blood, in my soul, which may destroy me”

This new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic was performed by just two actors and used innovative audio-visual design to conjure up the phantom count, deep in the basement of Blackwell’s Bookshop.

Reviews

“Creation always seem to be able to come up with something inventive and off-centre for their shows, and this was no exception. Well done guys, superb, keep being different!” TripAdvisor review

“Creation’s new production of Dracula uses innovative techniques and staging to tell the story, while simultaneously taking it back to its roots. Sexuality, identity, and the boundary between good and evil are questioned throughout, held up to close scrutiny, and found to be fragile and fragmenting. The horror aspects of the story are brought to the forefront, and there are many moments that are genuinely frightening.” Daily Info

“It is sensuous, unsettling, humorous in parts and technically brilliant with expert stagecraft. It is absorbing to the point of hypnotic. There is a little gore; most of the frights are unseen. This is a very grown-up Dracula for our times with a strong female lead. A hugely enjoyable show and a towering achievement for Creation. ★★★★★” The Oxford Times

“Superbly acted and visually and aurally arresting.” Newbury Weekly News
