Written in 1897, Stoker's novel introduces the iconic character of
the vampire Count Dracula. Through a series of letters and diary
entries, the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move
from Transylvania to England, and the battle between Dracula and a
small group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern
form as we know it today.
This comedy features a group of lawyers away for an important
weekend conference. Hugo Barnes desperately wants to be a High
Court Judge and has organised the conference - under the title
'Clean up the Bar' - to impress the new Lord Chancellor. Hugo's
friend and married colleague, Nick Willmott, has invited a young
solicitors' secretary along for the weekend. This decision
threatens Nick's marriage, Hugo's plans for a trouble-free
conference and both their reputations. Misunderstandings, narrow
escapes and attemped sexual infidelity combine with an unusual
undercurrent of family reconciliation and personal discovery.
A terrifically thrilling black comedy examining the stresses and strains of modern life in the 1990’s, Nasty Neighbours bursts into life following the emigration of Mr and Mrs Peach’s neighbours the Hodges to Australia. The grieving Peaches anxiously twitch behind the net curtains at their semi-detached home wondering who will arrive next door to take their place. But Mr and Mrs Chapman prove to be far from the ideal couple the Peaches had dreamed of. The Chapmans are rude, loud and aggressive, and with growing frustration Mr Peach embarks on a massive feud with his new neighbours. The problems escalate out of all proportion, even including the harassment of his old neighbours on the other side of the world. It isn’t long before all three couples are tearing each other apart and in a terrifying climax Mr Peach sets out to show the Chapmans just how nasty a neighbour can be ...
