  • Stage Hammer team up with the Joseph Rowntree Theatre to bring the classic, gothic tale to life

    When darkness falls, the legend comes to life.

    Wolves howl in the forests of Transylvania. Waves crash violently against the cliffs below Whitby Abbey. The infection is spreading.

    Count Dracula walks amongst us.

    Jonathan Harker, a solicitor from Yorkshire, travels to a castle in the Carpathian Mountains to finalise the sale of property for a reclusive nobleman. When he seemingly vanishes, his fiancée Mina and her closest friend Lucy fall into the grip of a sinister force. Their only hope for survival is a mysterious professor who strives to save them from a fate worse than death.

    Bram Stoker's classic vampire story is brought to the stage in this new and exciting adaptation, which remains faithful to the immortal novel whilst honouring the mythology that has grown around it for more than a century.
