A Fang-tastic Finale!

Our final performance has been and gone and we've saved the best to last! Our audience had damp eyes in the emotional scenes....and damp seats in the funny ones! Not a dry bladder in the house - thanks especially to Drac, Genghis and Wraith who had the punters rolling in the aisles!

Thankfully, Herr Hans and the be-plaited Frau Gretel remained calm and braced (haha) for terror in the face of Drac and his entourage, including the marauding Glublick addicted Wellie-Boot Dancers....a stalwart pair, afeared of naught...although they'd probably flee in terror in the face of determined morris dancers....



 Determined though Dracula may be to add young Ms. Naive to his harem of demonic brides, he's not going to get away with it!



 Along with Sister O'Stake, they provide essential backup to our pristine hero as he faces down the Prince Of Darkness, battling for the soul of his beloved Nadia. Who would have thought that the local brew would prove even more fatal to the Dark Prince and his cohorts that it has to the poor brain-addled locals? Have at thee, fang-face!


And evil is no more!!! (probably)......and loooove.......TRUE looooooove..... will triumph over all!



Let's dance.....



Awwwwwwwwww......  Not wanting to pass up the chance of a profit, Herr Hans and Frau Gretel rustle up a quick cold buffet to attract the tourists, and the wandering wellie-boot weirdos ...



With the sardine sandwiches curling nicely at the corners, and the last of that fatal, fang-busting, festering brew warming on the bar, it's time to join our happy hero and heroine


...in holy matrimony...


And they all lived happily ever after!

Thank you to EVERYONE who made this production possible - you are ALL....EPIC! Awesome congratulations to each and every one of our wonderful cast for a performance to be PROUD of!

Now the costumes are packed, the props are stored, Dracula's nailed up in his casket and the wellie-boot dancers are in rehab. It's been a splendid journey and now there's just one more thing to do - plan a party! (I'll take pics, I promise!).

So farewell for now. Hang up the garlic, sharpen your stakes and watch the windows in the dark of the night.... you never know when Dracula himself will drop in for a bijou nip-ette of your life's blood....or at the very least, a nice slice of quiche...
