Museum Matinees: Bram Stoker’s Dracula: A recitation for two voices - A Macabre Matinee
Derby Museum and Art Gallery, Derby, DE1 1BS
Sunday 24th May 2026 1:30PM
Marking World Dracula Day, join The Kirk Ireton Light Program as they present a new reimagining of Bram Stoker’s classic tale performed by just two actors.
Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" needs no introduction... but how many people have read it? It would take eighteen hours to read aloud, which is a bit much. Instead, we offer you an abridged version lasting one hour and forty five minutes. The text is still Mr. Stoker's, as are the references to Kodak cameras, hypnotism, brain surgery, voice recordings, morphine, stakes, beheadings, etc., etc... and, of course, the big D. Very Gothic, and, occasionally, very funny.
Presented as part of Dracula Returns To Derby: 101 Years and Counting.
Suitable for Adults (18+)
Booking essential. Limited places.
