The Foot and Mouth crisis forced us to cancel our summer tour for the first time in seven years. However, the little zombies of the Off the Ground Youth Theatre arose from the graves of their elders and, banishing all thoughts of garlic or wooden stakes, performed the electrifying Dracula Spectacula.

Most feared of all vampires, Dracula, is on the loose again, and this time he is trying to seduce the sweet but vulnerable (not to mention slightly stupid) American school teacher, Miss Nadia Naïve. However, Dracula doesn’t get everything his own way as Miss Naïve is protected by the handsome English doctor Nick Rophiliac, and his Irish friend, Father O’Stake.

“Flight 666 for Europe is now ready for take-off. The flight stops at Paris, Heidelberg and Karloffia, Transylvania. Bon voyage. Goodbye, Auf wiedersehen. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.”
