PERFORMING arts students at Weymouth College are to stage the gothic classic Dracula.

The play, adapted by Liz Lochhead, is a powerful and gripping version of the Bram Stoker's original horror tale.

This is the student's final production of their two year BTEC course.

They are responsible for key elements of the production such as the set, costume and special effects.

Many of the performers have starred in previous college productions including A Christmas Carol, Cabaret and The Visit.

The play runs from Wednesday, June 19 to Saturday, June 22 at The Theatre, Cranford Avenue. Tickets cost £5.50 for adults, concessions are £4.50 and £3 for students.
