Dracula
Dracula
★★★☆☆ Jukebox Ballet
Big Live sweep onto the Festival Theatre stage with a limited engagement of Dracula: Ballet at its Darkest, a new adaptation of the classic Bram Stoker horror. Promising lavish Gothic visuals and visceral storytelling, this is a ballet simmering with potential which is not yet fulfilled.
Dracula
★★★★☆ Considered
The Edinburgh Makars’ production of Dracula, at the Royal Scots Club for the last week of the Fringe, is an intelligent and atmospheric (if overlong) production, benefiting from some tremendous acting.
Confessions of a Lunatic
★★★☆☆ Atmospheric
An attempt to go over familiar ground in a new way is not always wholly successful in Confessions of a Lunatic, from Nightshade Theatre and New Celts.
Dracula
★★☆☆☆ Atmospheric
Blackeyed Theatre’s Dracula is an atmospheric adaptation of Bram Stoker’s seminal Gothic novel, with more ambitions than successes.
Dracula: Mina’s Reckoning
★★★★☆ Angry
You can’t keep a good vampire down for long, and the story of Dracula keeps coming back to the stage, with its depictions of transgressive behaviour making it a constant candidate for reinvention.
Listings Mon 30 May – Sun 5 June
What’s on Edinburgh’s stages this week…
A bit of a hiatus week, this week. There are a few choice productions in smaller venues, but the big venues are getting ready for the big June openers, a couple of which are in preview this week.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula
★★★☆☆ BANG!
Noisy fun is to be had in the touring Dracula at the King’s, in a production that lacks depth but is unashamedly crowd-pleasing, not to say crowd-scaring.
