Dracula: The Bloody Truth 2019

  • Show Information

Exeter Northcott Theatre Associates, and creators of The Three Musketeers: A Comedy Adventure and Dick Tracy, are back this September with their critically acclaimed, multi five-star show Dracula: The Bloody Truth.

Join Professor Abraham Van Helsing and his three idiotic amateur actors on a journey across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the awkwardly charming seaside town of Whitby, as they frantically try to stage a life-changing, factual, theatrical production of Bram Stoker’s novel. Directed by one of the UK’s most exciting comedy directors, John Nicholson (Peepolykus) Dracula: The Bloody Truth promises to have the vampires back in the ground and leave the audiences flying high!

After being licensed worldwide last year the show has now gone global seeing sell-out performances in Canada and the USA (to name but a few) so don’t miss this one-off chance to see it back where it all started!
