A play set to chill you to your bones and drain the blood from your face in a frightful performance of delightful theatrical entertainment is coming to East Dunbartonshire.
Dracula will be brought to life, for one night only, at Kilmardinny House and Arts Centre on Saturday 1 November and tickets are on sale now.
Following a number of previous successful stage adaptations of radio plays including Frankenstein and A Christmas Carol, No Nonsense Productions theatre company returns to the Bearsden venue with Dracula: The Radio Play.
Presented as a 1950s radio play on stage, this chaotic comedic adaptation features live sound effects and period music. Onstage two plucky 1950s radio actors play dozens of characters and re-tell Bram Stoker’s classic story.
Councillor Jim Gibbons, Chair of EDLC Trust, added, "We are delighted to welcome No Nonsense Productions back to Kilmardinny House following their success here with A Christmas Carol and Frankenstein which were both very well-received by those who attended them.
“Kilmardinny House and Arts Centre, with its beautiful Georgian architecture and stunning grounds is the perfect venue to bring this atmospheric period play to life and there is ample free parking on-site.
“For those too afraid to see this comedy of terrors in the dark, there is a matinee performance at 2.30pm in addition to the evening show at 7.30pm.
I would encourage everyone who can, to take this opportunity to enjoy some fang-tastic theatre with plenty of bite right on our doorstep. It would be a grave mistake to miss it.
Director Kevin Jannetts has an impressive record with radio plays, producing a sell-out Para Handy at Kirkintilloch Town Hall as well as It’s a Wonderful Life at venues across Scotland.
Tickets cost £15 for adults and £13.50 for concessions (plus booking fee).
