  'Tonight I need you to understand the difference between fiction and the truth. Tonight you will discover that Bram Stoker's Dracula, is in fact… fact.'
  Travelling across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby, Professor Van Helsing and his three amateur actors stage a life-changing, theatrical production of Dracula – hoping to establish, once and for all, the bloody truth.
  The result is a delightfully silly, fast-paced and faithful (-ish) adaptation by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus) of Bram Stoker's novel, originally performed by physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2017.
  Performed by four actors playing forty characters, Dracula: The Bloody Truth is a full-blooded adaptation offering abundant opportunities for any theatre company or drama group to sink their teeth into.
  'Dracula: The Bloody Truth is side-splittingly funny and is, by far, the best new comedy I've seen this year' Broadway World

  Fifty Shades of Winter - 50 of...

  Nature prepares her final work. She begins to strip her canvas of almost everything leaving only little pockets of colour, leaves and berry to cluster on the bleak structure of the land 
   
  Her command of colour rises to another understanding.  The shades of grey, the monochrome from white to black begin to solidify. Falling temperatures hold and freeze everything.  The days shorten. The nights lengthen, throwing moon and starlight across the glistening canvas. She dazzles with storm and blizzard. Rest for her will not be easy. 
   
  Our poets, who have seen this often, know it’s meaning.  Their verse evocatively relays their thoughts, their musings, their understanding of all that surrounds the closing of nature’s year. 
   
  In fifty poems we take you on their inspiring journey, reflecting on the miracle of winter.
