We welcome the announcement of Dracula: The Untold Story coming to Liverpool‘s Playhouse Theatre. The show comes to Liverpool from Tuesday October 12 to Saturday October 16 2021.

Dracula: The Untold Story
Background
It’s New Year’s Eve 1965 in London, England. And just before midnight, revellers are celebrating the beginning of another year. But at that moment, a young woman visits Marylebone Police Station to confess to a brutal murder. Now, she claims to be Mina Harker, Mina being the sole survivor of the intrepid group witnessing Count Dracula’s terrifying actions 70 years beforehand. However, Mina hasn’t been seen herself ever since 1901. Furthermore, if she was still with us, then by now she would be 90-years-old. But as Mina confesses to terrifying events, she retells the tale of Bram Stoker’s classic novel. And she claims it’s the true story; the untold story. What’s more, she has to tell it now, before sunrise. Before it’s too late; before …
So, unfolding as a live graphic novel, this chilling new version scares those who believe they already know Dracula too well. And the show utilises the most innovative digital technologies to show the dark landscape of the gothic world. And there’s a renewal of energy and political insight along the way.
Creatives
The show has direction and an adaptation from Andrew Quick and Pete Brooks. Additionally, there’s design by Laura Hopkins, lighting design from Andrew Crofts and original music composition from James Hamilton. And the projection and video design come courtesy of Simon Wainwright.
Cast
A talented cast is awaiting further announcements. But when the full list of performers is available, we will let you know!
Venue
Liverpool’s Playhouse Theatre is one of the most popular entertainment venues in the whole city. Now, its circular entranceway is instantly recognisable and perfectly central within Williamson Square. But it’s more notable for its diverse offering of shows covering stand-up comedy, serious drama and children’s fun. Not to mention that it’s a great location to allow theatre-goers to enjoy the shops, bars and restaurants in the surrounding city centre. So, if you wish to see a theatre show in Liverpool, we strongly recommend that you pop by to the Playhouse Theatre.
