With the popularity of such programmes such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" it was only a matter of time before Dracula became a Pantomime villain. In this relatively new production Dracula needs a new bride as his existing brides are all "dried up". He enlists the help of Steak and Kidney. Will he succeed in his mission to entice the beautiful Sonia or will he end up with the Dame, Rosie Glow?

This production has all the classical elements of a traditional family pantomime. With songs made famous by Atomic Kitten, S Club 7 and Elvis Presley amongst others there is fun from start to finish. With direction by Angie Chitty and Nigel Willetts and production by Nick Skinner there was a laugh a minute and entertainment for all.
