Black RAT Productions and Blackwood Miners’ Institute present
A new comedy by Richard Tunley
After binge-watching Who Do You Think You Are? Count Dracula becomes convinced he’s got royal blood—thanks to a dubious link between Vlad the Impaler and the Prince of Wales. So, he orders a flat-pack coffin off Temu, books himself an Airbnb, and sets off for the Black Forest… only to land in Blackwood in the South Wales Valleys!
At first, the locals think he’s just another eccentric in a cape. But when people start mysteriously disappearing and pest control is called to investigate a sudden bat problem, the town begins to wonder if their odd new visitor is more than just a lost tourist...
A fang-filled spoof bursting with laughs, Valleys pride, and a touch of garlic. A comedy about identity, heritage, and what it really means to be Welsh.
Brought to you by Black RAT Productions—masters of fast-paced, funny, and fearsomely good theatre.
Audio description is a live commentary interspersed with the actors' dialogue. This is relayed via a headset linked to the infra-red audio system. There is a short 'programme notes' session, before the production, which explains the atmosphere, costumes, characters and action.
BSL
British Sign Language Performance
Signed performances are ideal for those who use sign language. Trained British Signed Language (BSL) signers usually stand to one side of the stage and interpret the script used by the performers at the same time as it is being performed.
R
Relaxed Screening/Performance
Open to everyone, but particularly appropriate for anyone who may find the usual theatre/cinema environment challenging, due to an Autism Spectrum Condition, a learning disability, or a fear of the dark, loud noises or confined spaces.
Relaxed Performances/Screenings provide a relaxed environment, where elements are adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. Lighting and sound levels are adjusted to soften their impact and there is a relaxed attitude to noise and leaving and re-entering the auditorium during the performance/screening.
Designated 'chill-out' areas are provided outside the auditorium with activities for people to use if being in the auditorium becomes overwhelming for them.
T
Touch Tour
A Touch Tour is ideal for blind and partially-sighted audiences to familiarise themselves with the set ahead of the performance.
C
Captioned Screening/Performance
Captions display dialogue on-screen (similar to subtitles) and also describe the audio or sound portion of a film/performance allowing audience members who are D/deaf or hard of hearing to follow the script and the action of the film/performance at the same time.
For live performances, the screen is positioned at the side of the stage.
