Opens: 31/10/2012 Closes: 03/11/2012
Barbican, London
Taking from Bram Stoker’s classic Dracula for this sumptuous thriller, Norwegian theatre company TR Warszawa is back at the Barbican for the third time. Directed by Grzegorz Iarzyna, who took on Sarah Kane’s 4:48 Psychosis to brilliantly evocative effect in 2010, this enters a dark world inhabited by creatures of the night. For added bite, it opens on All Hallos’ Eve.
