BRASH, BALLSY AND ‘BLOOD’-Y BRILLIANT – THERE’S SIMPLY NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE DRACULA’S LATEST PRODUCTION.
No one does a night out like Dracula’s. From the moment you board the Ghost Train right through to the final bow, you’re taken on an after-worldly adventure where anything can happen. ‘Nine Pints’, the brand-new show by the vampiric theatre troupe, is no different.
Less vaudeville and more ‘Vegas underworld’, Nine Pints delivers a dynamic display of aerial artistry, saucy entertainment and smutty – albeit incredibly witty – comedy. With a dash of brashness, a pinch of cheekiness and a generous serving of #WTF make for one unforgettable night.
The jokes are ballsy (almost literally – one act includes a giant penis) and the performances perfectly executed. Audiences even witness the return of the traditional puppetry that Dracula’s founding family, the Newmans, are known for. Nine Pints ticks all boxes.
Combining old favourites (food and cocktails, and the ghost train reel that never fails to bring the audience together in embarrassment) and new additions – a bloody, provocative film clip kicks off the show, which features plenty of fresh talent – Nine Pints will leave your heart beating wildly and your face drained of blood… in the best way possible.
Nine Pints in review
Here’s what our scout reviewer had to say after she watched the show:
“Year after year, Dracula’s never fails to make my jaw drop and my belly ache with laughter. Cheeky and wild, with great tunes, dances and aerial acts, the talent and humour – particularly from ‘El-Mo’ – will rock your socks off. Keep an eye out for twins Aorta and Jugular when their dynamic aerial acts bring a new spin to the stage show and be sure to stock up on cocktails to get in the mood for another legendary show.”
