Bowjangles in Dracula in Space

  • Show Information

Forget everything you think you know about string quartets, Bowjangles are an irreverent, anarchic group of genre-spanners, bringing music, theatre and comedy together in a way you’ve never seen before.

With over 15 years of performing under their belts, Bowjangles have performed all over the world from rural village halls to concert halls, festivals and street performances, hospitals and the occasional prison. In 2019, the company made their Off Broadway debut, performing at SoHo Playhouse, New York.

Dracula in Space is a hilarious and totally original musical comedy that sees the award-winning foursome blasting into outer space to meet a mysterious benefactor whose proposition seems a little too good to be true. But what happens when their lead violinist starts to act a little strangely?

Music and lyrics by Bertie Anderson Haggart. Book and lyrics by Oliver Izod.
