Synopsis: | the story of seven friends and the glue that holds their relationship together. The play spans a period of seventeen years starting with the funeral that breaks the relationship and running backwards in time to the day of their University Graduation, finally revisiting the funeral. Through examining each of the seven times these people are alone together over the period it studies friendships and how they form and change, how politics and friendship can affect each other. It's funny and tragic and about real people. It's an ensemble piece for four men and three women. | |||||

Synopsis: | A young woman dies of apparent anaemia in a Surrey Sanatorium. When her best friend begins to exhibit the same symptoms her Doctor sends for an expert from Holland called Van Helsing. He advises that he believes that a vampire is involved. The others scoff but eventually suspicion begins to point to a new neighbour Count Dracula. The action mounts to an eventual climax in the cellars of Carfax, Count Dracula's home. What more can be said, it's based on the original book, a script from the 1920's and a film script from the 1950's but most of the dialogue is original except what comes direct from the book. | |||||
