Dracula - Verimmäinen Totuus (Dracula: The Bloody Truth) at Törnävän kesäteatteri (Törnävä Summer Theatre) in Seinäjoki, Finland
Legendary vampire hunter Professor Van Helsing believes that nothing really went as planned in Bram Stoker's horror novel Dracula (1897). He has decided to uncover the truth and, for some mysterious reason, start an educational campaign in Seinäjoki — and target the summer theater audience! Yes!
The professor has hired three top actors to help, but before the lecture even begins, the trio has already messed up almost everything.
Can Dracula be done with three actors? How many wigs is too many? And the biggest question: can darkness be played in sunlight?
Heikki Hela, Kaisa Hela, Jani Johansson and Mia Vuorela shine in the roles. Director Miika Muranen combines gothic aesthetics, speed and horror, and promises the wildest laughs of the summer!
The British theatre company Le Navet Bete premiered the comedy Dracula: The Bloody Truth in 2017 in Devon, UK. The Finnish premiere of the summer theatre production will be directed by Mikko Koivusalo.
Dracula: Die Ganze Wahrheit (Dracula: The Bloody Truth) at the Chambinzky Hafentheater, Würzburg, Germany
Forget everything you know about Dracula – it was a lie. Well, maybe not everything. But way too much!
It is the year 1912 and Professor Van Helsing has an urgent concern: the truth about Count Dracula must finally come to light! She is supported by a troupe of three highly motivated performers who slip into over 40 roles to present the true story as authentically as possible. They stumble together over props and stage parts, forget or invent their text, and inspire their audience with more or less ingenious (magic) tricks. All this, of course, in the service of enlightenment! Because the biggest lie about Dracula is that his haunting has long been put to an end ... as the saying goes: The unsaid live longer!
