If you think ‘The Woman in Black’ was scary … be prepared to be petrified!
A new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s iconic masterpiece on vampirism sees Gerard McCarthy playing both Jonathan Harker, whose diaries chronicle the bloody tale, and the greatest supernatural character of all time: Dracula … and several other characters!
Using multiple cameras, backing screens, projections, surround sound and a newly commissioned score, this solo tour de force will make audiences scream.
Adapted and Directed by Michael Poynor with original music by Mark Dougherty, ‘Jonathan Harker and DRACULA’ will stop off on its autumn tour at the Burnavon, Cookstown just in time for Halloween on Thursday 30th October.
