They have rocked the UK – delivering the legendary sound, spirit and attitude of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Arguably Britain’s best AC/DC tribute band .The AC/DC Experience brilliantly nail the power and look of the stadium rock god’s incendiary stage performance. This widely-held view was backed up when rock legend, and ex-Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden saw the band on tour. Bernie, who wrote Whitesnake’s classic anthem Here I Go Again, said: “I caught The AC\DC Experience during their UK tour in Oxford and the gig brought back memories of one of my greatest tour experiences with the Australian rockers in 1980. “The AC\DC Experience boys captured the spirit of those great anthems I heard every night, and I believe the guitar player sweats as much as Angus! “If you love AC/DC music a night out at one of their gigs will leave you smiling!”

A powerful stage adaptation of Bram Stoker's gothic classic The time is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. But poised between traditional beliefs, the threat of the unknown and the shock of the new world, an altogether darker fear is emerging. As a new shadow looms large over England, a small group of young men and women, led by Professor Van Helsing, are plunged into an epic struggle for survival. Stretching from London, through provincial England, to the mountainous wastes of Transylvania, Bram Stoker’s timeless gothic thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the unknown outside becoming the enemy within. Adapted by Nick Lane, this brilliant, theatrical treatment of Bram Stoker’s adventure blends Victorian Gothic with the Contemporary, showcasing Blackeyed Theatre’s trademark ensemble performance style and featuring a haunting soundscape, powerful performances and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.
