Bram Stoker’s seminal work is the starting point for a radical exploration of our fascination with the most enduring manifestation of evil in literature and cinema.
Unfolding on stage as a live graphic novel, this show is a chilling politically engaged and radical new version of the classic gothic vampire tale.
‘a wild gothic thrill ride…Inventive, amusing, genuinely thrilling at times, this is a blend of digital and live performance that makes sense for our era.’
The Guardian *****
'Dazzlingly original’
The Stage
‘The fusion of live action and video technology is
breathtakingly inventive.’
The Times
‘Imitating the Dog’s technical marvel of a show turns an updated version of Bram Stoker’s novel into a live-action graphic novel…spectacular, innovative theatre, as dramatically forceful and thought-provoking as it is entertaining.’
The Observer
