Estate summary

Luke Jennings finds David Nixon’s Dracula for Northern Ballet fast-moving and theatrically entertaining, praising the company’s dramatic commitment. He singles out the choreography for Lucy while judging the Count insufficiently sinister. The review concerns this 2014 production and cast.

Observer review carried by The Guardian, 14 September 2014. The PR picture is of the alternate cast, as its caption states, rather than all the performers Jennings discusses.
