Internationally acclaimed theatre company British Touring Shakespeare is delighted to bring a brand new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic gothic horror tale Dracula to Carew Castle on Saturday, September 3.

Following on from the success of British Touring Shakespeare’s last year’s sold out adaptation of The Hound Of The Baskervilles, Artistic Director Andrew Hobbs has also once again teamed up with his father, award winning historian and writer David Hobbs MBE, to create a spine chilling new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. With fans around the world celebrating the 125th anniversary of the original publication of that great horror novel, there has never been a better time to bring this seminal vampire tale to the stage.

Andrew said: “As a lifelong horror fan I have jumped at the chance to put my stamp on Dracula, and whether you are familiar with the novel, any of the many film and TV adaptations, or are new to the story, we know you will find plenty to enjoy in our imaginative outdoor staging.”

Actress Jenny Trapp, who has recently toured some of the country’s largest venues working with Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams, appears as gothic heroine Mina Harker. She said: “Over the course of my career I’ve been fortunate to appear in some of the biggest arena shows but there is nothing like the excitement of sharing such a fresh interpretation of this classic tale with the audience in a beautiful open air venue.”

David Hobbs added: “Bram Stoker’s novel is not only a thrilling story, it is a classic example of English literature and it was a pleasure to help draw out the essential elements into a format that can be put before an audience. I hope that everyone will enjoy watching the story unfold as much as I enjoyed helping to adapt it.”
