Adapting Dracula: Chatting with Nick Lane

22/04/2025

You might recognise Nick Lane's name as the writer behind our madcap Christmas shows and adaptations of The Comedy of Errors (more or less) and Love's Labour's Lost (more or less). Now he's turned his pen to Dracula, so we caught up with him to chat about the process of adapting and directing the gothic classic ahead of it swooping (sorry!) our way from 1-3 May.

We're delighted to be part of this year's second ever Scarborough Fringe! Part of Scarborough Fair, it's all about showcasing incredible cultural experiences in different venues across the town between Fri 13 and Sun 22 June.
