Bowjangles: Dracula in Space

Friday, Friday, May 10, 2024
The Quarry Theatre , Bedford
Dracula in Space is a hilarious and totally original musical comedy that sees the award-winning quartet heading into outer space to meet a mysterious benefactor whose proposition seems a little too good to be true. But what happens when their lead violinist starts to act a little strangely? This epic horror and sci-fi caper gets us thinking - would you sell your soul in order to sell your art? Dracula in Space is an explosive production that is a love letter to classic horror films and their iconic scores, but is at its heart a story of friendship and camaraderie.
