Dracula: The Bloody Truth

by John Nicholson

'Tonight I need you to understand the difference between fiction and the truth. Tonight you will discover that Bram Stoker's Dracula , is in fact… fact.' Travelling across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby, Professor Van Helsing and his three amateur actors stage a life-changing, theatrical production of Dracula – hoping to establish, once and for all, the bloody truth. The result is a delightfully silly, fast-paced and faithful (-ish) adaptation by John Nicholson ( Hound of the Baskervilles , Peepolykus) of Bram Stoker's novel, originally performed by physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2017. Performed by four actors playing forty characters, The Bloody Truth is a full-blooded adaptation offering abundant opportunities for any theatre company or drama group to sink their teeth into. ' The Bloody Truth is side-splittingly funny and is, by far, the best new comedy I've seen this year' Broadway World

5/6 points, brilliant play-script, very clever adaptation of Dracula collides with funny farce
