This gloriously sexy
Dracula shows a much better way to do glittery vampires and it finishes this weekend at Theatre Works.
For the Melbourne Festival, Theatre Works welcomed an almost textless
The Bacchae cast with women. Now Little Ones Theatre have created Bram Stoker's
Dracula as a live silent movie and cast it with women.
This is Stoker’s story told with a black glitter and blood-red aesthetic that reflects, questions and wildly defies any assumptions of gender, sexuality and queer politics.Little Ones Theatre have one of the most unique voices in Melbourne theatre.
Director Stephen Nicolazzo embraces high-camp without the condescending tone or gender insult that camp laughs often come from. Inspired by the 1980s but seen through today’s eyes, their worlds are visually arresting, sexually free and always unforgettable.
If you want to experience original texts, read them. Then come to the theatre to see them through someone else's eyes.
