Alone and trapped within the castle walls, Jonathan discovers his host Count Dracula wants more than just his presence at the dinner table – he might also be the main course.

Leaving Jonathan for dead and his castle behind, Dracula travels to London on a quest for seduction, true love and, above all, blood.

Stoker’s 1897 horror-classic has been adapted for the stage by innovative contemporary theatre company shake & stir.
