Weigh anchor for this hilariously macabre comedy taken from between the pages of Bram Stoker’s Dracula!
On the docks of Whitby harbour The Demeter, a Russian merchant ship, pulls into view. Her crew are missing, and, at the wheel, the corpse of her dear captain is bound with a look of terror etched across his face. Below deck there is no cargo aside from several wooden crates marked from Transylvania.
THE DEMETER is the creeping comic retelling of Dracula’s journey to England. Aboard the eponymous ship, a crew of miscreant sailors must confront the growing evil that looms over them: English Imperialism! Plus someone keeps biting them on the neck. For some reason.
A new two act comedy by Lewis Cook, directed by Laura Ollerton. Lewis is an award-winning writer for stage and radio, with credits on Dead Ringers, Newsjack and Please Use Other Door.
