Dracula

@ Lyric Hammersmith on Various dates from Friday 12th September 2025

Bringing a bold feminist lens to a gothic staple, Morgan Lloyd Malcolm's new adaptation of Dracula reframes the iconic tale through the eyes of Mina Harker - a woman reconstructing the past, and possibly summoning more than just memories. With only a collection of letters and her husband's journal, Mina must confront the shadow of Count Dracula and the legacy he left behind.

Directed by Emma Baggott, this atmospheric production goes beyond traditional horror, delving into themes of power, trauma, and female agency. It's a compelling reinvention that uncovers voices buried beneath the blood and folklore - perfect for fans of smart, thought-provoking theatre with a sinister edge.
