Dracula was first published in 1897 and has never been out of print. It has been the subject of countless bastardisations and adaptations, so much so, that the very word 'DRACULA' has permeated our consciousness in a way the industrious theatre manager Bram Stoker would never have dreamed possible... But what is Dracula really about? Why has it endured when other, better written novels have not? Who was Mr Abraham Stoker and why was he in thrall to the actor/manager Henry Irving? Ullaloom bid you welcome to the subconscious mind of Bram Stoker...Enter freely and of your own will... Ullaloom Theatre Company present their own unique vision of Stoker's greatest work in an adaptation that does not feature a Count in evening dress, or a love story, but is true to the cold hearted and savage spirit of the text! A world where men are stalwart, brave, and resolute! A world of Victorian values, misogyny and bitter emasculation…

Bram Stoker's Nightmare...Dracula was blessed with a great creative team. The original musical score, which featured range of styles as diverse as Heavy Metal, orchestral and synth, was created by Carl Pownall, formerly of Zen Baseball Bat. Carl works as a freelance composer and can be contacted at: cdp171071@yahoo.co.uk You can listen to some of Carl's wonderful creations below : 1: Intro Metal Set, props, stakes and crucifixes were designed by Mike Gray. Mike has worked with the company on all our projects and has built us three coffins, a torture chair, a torture rack, a fully articulated skeletal hand and many other ghastly masterstrokes of macabre genius! Mike is the assistant stage manager for the Liverpool Playhouse and Everyman Theatre. This is Mike (Monkey) and so is this (gimp). Lights were designed by Paul Skinner, Paul is another long time collaborator of the company and worked with us on both 'Macabre' and its predecessor, 'Theatre of the Macabre'.
