Why is it in Aberdonian. That doesn't seem true the character and a little off putting. I want to buy tickets, but can't quite get past the Aberdonian dialect. I love Doric, but it's a bit of a hard sell, like, "Doric Lion King". Why?
I and many others in theatre were producing and directing racially diverse casts and women in traditional men's roles in 1990 USA. We didn't consider it "woke" at the time. We were just using all the fine talent available and enjoying the freshness of women's acting in older roles.
I can't believe there are people that actually thought this was good. I saw this on Thursday and I am still pissed off about how bad it was. I felt like I'd been mugged.
I went to see Dracula: Mina's Reckoning at the Dundee Rep on Thursday and I have to say it was one of the biggest piles of garbage I've ever seen. If you are just going to change every single thing about the story then just write your own story. All it came off as was a bunch of pretentious, progressive, woke bullshit with profanity and sleazy innuendos thrown in. The fact that the two of you actually talk about Bram Stoker's work like it is something that was thoroughly researched is laughable.
Saw it this night! It was spectacular! Its genuinely funny and even scary at times, and the story and acting kept everyone hooked! The actor playing Dracula owned every moment they were on stage!
will this production be recorded? i would absolutely love to see it again and be able to watch it at home to catch anything that i missed, such a great show!
