Dracula in Dorset

BOWJANGLES, a quartet of classically trained musicians who are as funny as they are musically gifted, bring their new show, Dracula in Space, to Dorset for a short Artsreach tour, starting at Chetnole village hall on Friday 3rd December. Forget everything you think you know about string quartets—Bowjangles is an irreverent, anarchic group of genre-spanners, bringing music, theatre and comedy together in a way you’ve never seen before.

The four Bowjangles players are a string quartet who can really play, who dance while they play, sing while they play, leap, tumble, juggle and joke while they play!

In this new show, the intrepid foursome are blasting off into outer space to meet a mysterious benefactor, whose proposition seems a little too good to be true. But what happens when their lead violinist starts to act a little strangely?

The other Bowjangles concerts are at Sixpenny Handley village hall on Saturday 4th at 7.30pm and Winfrith Newburgh village hall on Sunday 5th at 8pm.

WARNING: Contains scenes of graphic violins!
