YORK Theatre Royal is launching a ‘haunted’ autumn season of plays – from Dracula and The Hounds of the Baskervilles to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow – all ‘sponsored’ by the theatre’s resident ghost.
A spokesman said that as nights began to draw in, the theatre would be filling its stage with spirits and shadows in The Haunted Season.
“Award-winning kings of comedy La Navet Bete will sink their teeth into Dracula: The Bloody Truth,’ (24-25 Sept) which mixes slapstick with carefully-crafted comedy and a healthy dose of things going wrong as the action moves from dark and sinister Transylvania to the ‘awkwardly charming' seaside town of Whitby.
