Out Of The Fire Theatre’s Dracula production has Comedy Bite

The Out of the Fire Theatre group, which is based at St Peter’s Hall on Victoria Road, is currently working on its first ever full-length play – the much anticipated ‘Dracula: Wild and Wicked in Whitby’.

It is billed as a raucous, madcap, laugh out loud twist on this classic.

A spokesperson said: “This is not a scary Dracula – we do pay homage to the classic tale set not far away in Whitby but ours is a ‘Comedy with Bite’.

“Get ready for a fast-paced story of vampire hunting, love, family and egg sandwiches… with hobby horses, masks, puppets, water sprays, a couple of magic tricks and a razor scooter!

“With a steam punk costume theme and a music track which stretches from Vivaldi to rock there really is something for everyone.”

The show is at St Peter’s Hall from Thursday May 28 to Saturday, May 30. Tickets (£8.50) are available from Planetwise, Prospect Street, or from www.ticketsource.co.uk

The group launched in October 2024 with ‘The Beer, The Fear and The Spirits’ for Halloween.

Since then it has performed ‘Sassy Sirens and Flighty Fellas’ (a series of comedy playlets) and ‘A Christmas Carol: 3 Ways’ – which saw the group present a modern day Christmas Carol, a ‘One Word Christmas Carol’ and a traditional version of the story.

The group launched this year’s busy programme in March with ‘The Stage Supper Series’ – bringing a new concept to Bridlington’s drama scene.

Audience members enjoyed a delicious pie, a drink, and a live performance of a vintage 1940s radio play ‘Dick Tracy and The Big Top Murders’.

Tickets for this event sold out within 72 hours but for those who missed out the group will be reviving the performance as part of the Old Town Vintage Day on Sunday, June 28.

Out of the Fire Theatre members meet every Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm and get involved in all aspects of drama, theatre and putting on productions.

Members span all ages and experience; from absolute beginners to those more familiar with being on stage.
