Overview
By Bram Stoker
Adapted by Shake & Stir
After a decade in the shadows, Shake & Stir Theatre Co’s critically acclaimed, sold-out production of DRACULA rises again and returns to QPAC for a strictly limited season.
When young lawyer Jonathan Harker journeys deep into the Carpathian Mountains, he is unprepared for the strange welcome awaiting him at Castle Dracula. Trapped within its walls and at the mercy of his mysterious host, Jonathan soon discovers he may be more than a guest – he may be the main course!
Leaving Jonathan for dead, Dracula abandons his castle for London, driven by an insatiable hunger for seduction, eternal love and, above all, blood.
From the company behind the acclaimed national touring productions of Frankenstein, 1984 and A Christmas Carol – Bram Stoker’s legendary gothic nightmare returns to Brisbane – bolder, bloodier and unleashed on a thrilling new scale.
The original season sold out in record time and now, the Count is back for a second bite.
