Blackeyed Theatre brought Bram Stoker’s timeless tale to Bradford 2025.

England, 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of seismic technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. But somewhere between the comforts of tradition, the threat of the unknown and the shock of the new, a darker fear is emerging – and a group of young men and women will soon be plunged into an epic struggle for survival.

Nick Lane’s new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s timeless thriller blends Victorian Gothic atmosphere with 21st-century attitude – showcasing the ensemble performance style of Blackeyed Theatre.

Haunting soundscapes, powerful performances and innovative design combine to create an exhilarating theatrical experience. Don’t have nightmares…

Age 12+. Scenes depicting threat and stylised violence.

One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre.”
