Dracula revisited
And now visitors to the English Heritage site on the North Yorkshire coast will be able to get a new take on the classic Victorian gothic tale of Dracula with weekend promenade performances, including Richard Hollick , pictured, as the Count. Making a much-anticipated return after last year’s debut, three performers will stage the open-air productions, each weekend until the end of August. Writer and director Simon King said: “Some of Bram Stoker’s story is indeed set in a ruined abbey, believed to have been inspired by Whitby Abbey and while we retain the essence of the horror story, we are opening this great legend up to a new family audience.” Picture: Keith Meatheringham/Dobson Agency.
