Casting announced for premiere of imitating the dog & Leeds Playhouse production of DRACULA: THE UNTOLD STORY
Full casting has been announced for imitating the dog and Leeds Playhouse’s radical new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic gothic horror novel, Dracula: The Untold Story.
Told from the perspective of the novel’s heroine, Mina Harker, the piece will feature Leona Allen (Holes, The Meeting) as Harker, Matt Prendergast (Night of The Living Dead™ - Remix, The Train) and Adela Rajnović (Who They Were, Night of The Living Dead™ - Remix) playing all of the other roles.
New Year’s Eve, 1965, London, England. Just before midnight, as revellers celebrate the beginning of another year, a young woman enters Marylebone Police Station and confesses to a brutal murder.
She claims to be Mina Harker, the last living survivor of the intrepid group that brought about Count Dracula’s destruction some 70 years before. But Mina Harker has not been seen since 1901. And if she were alive, she would be ninety years old.
Unfolding on stage as a live graphic novel and using the latest digital technologies imitating the dog are known for, Dracula: The Untold Story is a chilling new version of the classic gothic vampire tale that you thought you knew so well.
Written and directed by imitating the dog’s co-artistic directors Andrew Quick and Pete Brooks, Dracula: The Untold Story will premiere at Leeds Playhouse from 25 September-9 October. It will then tour to Liverpool Playhouse, Derby Theatre, Dukes Lancaster, Watford Palace Theatre, Mercury Theatre Colchester and The Lowry, Salford Quays.
