Thurso Players Present Dracula At The Mill Theatre

14th May 2006

Photograph of Thurso Players Present Dracula At The Mill Theatre

18 - 20 May 2006
Dracula has been adapted many times and a script by Liz Lochhead has been chosen for this production of Bram Stoker's chilling love story

The adaptation has a touch of modern tongue and with with this is mind has had a modern direction. Don't go expecting to see a flowing red cape and a badly constructed Transylvanian accent. You will see the story of Dracula in its purity; which is a love triangle.

Jonathan Harker is a young solicitor intending to marry his true love, Mina Westerman. Before they can share the happy day, Jonathan must finalize the selling of a London home to a man residing in Transylvania called Count Dracula. Unbeknownst to Jonathan, this is all part of Dracula's plan in order to sail to London and feed on the blood of Jonathan's family and loved ones.

There are many subplots and characters in the play so the action never stops moving. I have chosen a soundtrack made up of organ music to help emphasize the dramatic purpose. When people come to see this production they will see a gripping tale of love, passion and blood.

Thurso Players was formed in 1950 following the closing of the Thurso Dramatic Society, Thurso Dramatic Club and earlier Caithness drama groups that can be traced back to the 1890s.   Despite the logistical problems of finding rehearsal and performance spaces the Players thrived, and in 1959 founder member Robin Sinclair offered a building in the old mill complex - if they could make it safe and watertight, which eventually over two to three decades later they were able to.

The Birthday Party by Harold PinterThumbnail for article : The Birthday Party by Harold Pinter
The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, an erstwhile piano player in his 30s, who lives in a run down boarding house, run by Meg and Petey Boles, in an English seaside town, probably on the south coast, not too far from London.  Two sinister strangers, Goldberg and McCann, who arrive supposedly on his birthday and who appear to have come looking for him, turn Stanleys apparently innocuous birthday party organised by Meg into a nightmare.
