Sahara BreeZe Productions are bringing the riotous comedy 'Dracula – The Bloody Truth' by Le Navet Bete & John Nicholson to Dunedin, Arrowtown and Wanaka from 11 Nov - 4 Dec 2021.
This hilarious parody of vampire movie cliches will have you rolling in the aisles. Crammed full of sensational slapstick, frantic costume changes, magic tricks and airborne props, strung together with clever dialogue, hilarious wordplay, as well as the odd song and dance, the cast of 4 take you on a riotous romp playing 34 characters with hysterical results.
The show takes you on a journey across Europe from the dark & sinister Transylvanian mountains to the outwardly charming seaside town of Whitby, as the frantic Van Helsing and his 3 hapless actors try to stage the ‘real’ events of the Dracula story. Will they be victorious or will Dracula get the last bite?
This is a laugh-out-loud riot you can really sink your teeth into!!!

Dear Lupin is best-selling author Michael Simkins' stage adaption of the hilarious letters of Dunkirk veteran and BBC2 racing reporter Roger Mortimer to his son Charlie. The original Dear Lupin book became a best-seller and won the Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year in 2013.
Production company Sahara Breeze is touring the New Zealand premiere of the play to six intimate venues around Central Otago in November and December. The play has nostalgia, wit, pathos, and genuine laugh-out-loud moments.
