Dracula is one of the most iconic figures in horror fiction, and Bram Stoker’s gothic horror novel is the seminal archetype for vampire lore. So what happens when you have an adaptation of Dracula where the Count himself takes a backseat?

ROMANS: A NOVEL — Alice Birch’s sprawling, poetic, and often uncomfortable exploration of masculinity, opened at the Almeida last evening. Directed by Sam Pritchard, we journey down many decades with three very different brothers. Touched by the untimely death of their mother, the bullying toxicity of boarding school, and the opportunities and challenges presented by life, each becomes a product of their experiences and differing world views.

With a cast of 23 eager performers, the Menier Chcolate Factory’s production of Mel Brooks’ THE PRODUCERS this week completed its West End transfer and is all set for a six month run. Last year’s revival resulted in unprecedented critical success and the production played to sold-out houses and enthusiastic audiences for 12 weeks at the 180 seat fringe venue. But how does it fare within the altogether larger Victorian environs of the Garrick Theatre on Charing Cross Road?

The Merry Wives of Windsor is far from Shakespeare’s best work, with a convoluted plot packed with too many characters, and humour that relies mostly on the popular character of John Falstaff from the Henriad. So any director is hard-pressed to give it a worthy adaptation, and Sean Holmes gives it his best effort, with mixed results.
