Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter
"Dracula: The Last Voyage of the Demeter" tells the tale of the fateful voyage that brought Dracula to England in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. Melbourne-based playwright Sean Carney has expanded this small part of the vampire count's story and has crafted this chilling one act show.
Following their successful mid-2022 run Sporadic Productions returns with the account of a doomed sea captain, his fracturing crew, and their undead stowaway, bringing a deep, character driven horror / drama to the Adelaide Fringe.

The final moment of the final scene took this production to the next level, and I’m keen to follow what comes next for Sporadic Productions. - Andrew Broadbent, 1,000 Words
An interesting take on the Dracula story that pays off in many ways, and sure to be of interest to any Bram Stoker aficionado. - Barry Hill OAM, Stage Whispers
