‘dracula’
9 - 11 October 2026
“Things become graphic, bloody and visually striking”
“Reagan Warner is exceptionally well cast as Count Dracula”
“Schwarten embraces the disturbing eccentricities of Renfield with tremendous energy”
“Physical theatre, practical horror effects, plentiful blood and gruesome stage imagery”
“Ghostlight Theatre Co’s blood-soaked ‘Dracula’ at Crete St Theatre in Beenleigh is worthy of playing at QPAC and beyond”
“Committed performances, striking design and gleefully bloody effects”
“Director Yasmin Elahi’s production of ‘Dracula’ is malignantly magnificent, a testament to a great cast and an imaginative use of magician trickery”
“The scale is remarkable for an independent production”
