Synopsis
An ancient evil has awakened and has set Victorian London in its sights. While London bustles and struggles with Victorian standards and the first modern serial killer, seven friends confront the evil that has targeted them and — with little care for their own fates — set out to save themselves and ultimately humanity.
​
Based closely on Bram Stoker's novel, this play is part litany, part fever dream, and entirely a testimony to an Irishman who inadvertently created the first tale of modern horror.
