Dracula (Lyric Hammersmith) description

Classic horror with a fresh female twist makes Dracula at Lyric Hammersmith special.

This visually stunning version of Dracula is a Lyric Hammersmith Theatre production, written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm (Emilia), based on Bram Stoker's horror novel and directed by Emma Baggott (A Taste of Honey). This major new adaptation of the thriller that never dies lets the female voices behind the timeless story speak for the first time.

Mina Harker tells her own version of the Count's journey from Transylvania to London. As the only survivor of the tragedies that unfolded, she has witnessed unimaginable horrors. Mina and her trusted allies are determined to piece together the truth behind Dracula's hideous desires. But is this more than a story? Do they actually have the power to conjure up the dead?
