The Novel – Abraham ‘Bram’ Stoker’s Dracula

Written in 1897, the novel Dracula wasn’t the first vampire legend, however, it has become the most well-known version. As a genre defining novel, Dracula has been adapted in many Hollywood films, for TV, and even radio.  

Did you know Bram Stoker’s novel was originally titled Dracula: or the Un-Dead? He submitted it in a mix of his own handwriting and printed extracts, hastily put together. This allowed Stoker to protect his rights to his book.

Stoker’s attention to detail is unmistakable; he researched myths, places, and superstitions to the smallest detail, visiting many of the locations in his novel. Gruesome and ingenious, Stoker’s Dracula is a terrifying tale that has terrified many generations and inspired many stories.

This is a Touring Consortium Theatre Company production, in association with Ewing Entertainment and Everyman Theatre Cheltenham.

Warning: Age guidance; 16+, contains strong themes, blood and gore, not advised for the faint hearted.

Book today, if you dare, to watch this stunning performance.
