Written by Michael Punter, directed by Colin Blumenau, Illusions by Ben Hart, designed by Kerry Bradley

It is 1894 and something is stirring at London’s Lyceum Theatre something terrifying, something breathtaking, something … supernatural.

Sir Henry Irving, the greatest actor of his age, and his manager Bram Stoker, who is soon

to thrill the world with his masterpiece Dracula, find themselves trapped in a dressing room at dead of night. Nor are they alone. The men battle with a rising hysteria as a petrifying presence propels them from an evening of comedy to one of shock and dread.

Colin Blumenau directs the world première of Michael Punter’s new play. Ben Hart, the award winning magician and illusionist, joins the team to create a truly chilling and thrilling spectacle.

7.30pm and 2pm matinees
