Carpe Jugulum
Date/Time
Wed 29th October - Sat 1st November
7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
Location
Old Fire Station
by Terry Pratchett
Adapted for the stage by Stephen Briggs
The de Magpyrs are the sort of vampires that would have Count Dracula spinning in his grave: modern, forward-looking and no longer afraid of holy water, garlic and religious symbols, or, indeed, of anything else. This makes them very, very dangerous. Luckily for the Discwold, the witches of Lancre are on hand – and the battle is on!
This Halloween join CADS in the Station on Silver Street, Central Bristol, for this spooktacular seasonal show featuring some of Terry Pratchett’s finest character creations. From smart, suave bloodsuckers to an eclectic assortment of witches, as well as yokels galore and an adorable mongrel, Stephen Briggs’ adaption of Carpe Jugulum has a favourite for everyone.
A bar selling hard and soft drinks, plus refreshments, will be available when the doors open. Fancy dress is warmly welcomed, though not compulsory!
