About this show
An inept lawyer, his strait-laced girlfriend, a Dutch polymath, two sock puppets and an asylum owner walk into a castle. What could go wrong? When the not-at-all sinister Countess Gagula and her manservant Igor invite Jonathan Harker to help with... "acquisitions", he and his gang find themselves thrust into a battle between good and as much evil as we can pull off under a 12+ age rating. Gagula: The Panto with Teeth! is a 50-minute romp through Victorian Europe, packed with jokes, blood and audience participation! It’s Dracula. It’s pantomime. What more could you want?

It isn’t time for a pantomime yet is it? “Oh yes it is!” It may only be August, but Pig’s Ear Productions have continued their annual tradition of bringing a pantomime to the Fringe, with this year’s edition being…
Dracula is a story that’s pretty easy to parody. The original story is laid out in such a way that you can pick and choose scenes to poke great fun out of.

Their commitment draws every ounce of potential out of the script, which indeed itself has great potential, should it decide to give itself fully to Gagula and be turned into the panto she could make of it.
