More Information (Derby ONE is not responsible for external websites)
On the 15th May 1924, Hamilton Deane produced the first official stage adaption of Dracula, which opened at The Grand Theatre on Babington Lane, Derby – a building which still stands today. This iconic adaptation gave us the vision of The Count which we know today, as portrayed by Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and more recently, Cynthia Erivo.
On the eve of Derby Dracula Day join Dacre Stoker for an exclusive sneak peek at letters and correspondence written by Bram Stoker on short term loan to Derby Museums as part of ‘Dracula Returns To Derby: 101 Years and Counting’ at Pickford’s House.
Accessibility at Derby Museums
Presented as part of Dracula Returns to Derby, an AHRC funded research project led by the University of Derby in partnership with Derby Museums, Derby Theatre, Bournemouth University and Sheffield Hallam University.
