In celebration of the 126th anniversary of the publication of Dracula, Brother Wolf is proud to present Dracula’s Guest, an all-new interpretation based on the works of Bram Stoker.

Adapted and directed by acclaimed actor/writer/producer/director, James Hyland, this multi award-winning production takes you into the dark heart of Victorian horror to reveal the very meaning of terror and the consequences of collective evil and personal spite. Dracula’s Guest is Brother Wolf’s 12th production to date and is preceded by a catalogue of celebrated works including A Christmas Carol – As told by Jacob Marley (deceased), the “definitive telling of A Christmas Carol” (Redditch Standard), winner of Best Performer in Theatre (Fringe Report Awards, 2012); Fagin’s Last Hour, “a masterclass in character acting” (British Theatre Guide), winner of an OffComm Commendation (Off West Awards, 2023); Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, “One of the most mesmerising and terrifying performances you’ll ever see” (The Sheerness Times Guardian), winner of Best Male Act (Solo Fest, 2013); A Lesson from Auschwitz, “a majestic statement of the power of theatre” (Plays To See), commended by The Foundation of Memory Sites Near Auschwitz-Birkenau; and Silver & Gold, “a portrayal of Silver to delight and surprise… excellent” (Virginia Betts Reviews).
