The Break-Away Project hosted their 'one-night-only' Halloween Spectacle on Friday, October 26th, 2012 in the Crypt of Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. The sold out event was attended by more than 100 guests, who were greeted by zombies and vampires, including Dracula's Bride and Frankenstein's Monster, upon entering the Crypt. They also enjoyed a wine reception during the show's interval. The theatre company performed 'Dr. Seward's Dracula' by Michigan based playwright Joseph Zettelmaier.

London, December 1895. Dr. Seward has cut himself off from the rest of the world after losing his lover and friends to Dracula. He has been contacted by the Irish author Bram Stoker, who wishes to tell his story. Soon, a series of murders occur, very similar to the ones Seward fought to stop. The doctor must face demons both real and imagined to find the answers.

The cast featured Shane Connolly as Dr Jack Seward; Helena Byrne as Emily Covington; Michael Heavey as Bram Stoker; Stephen Gorman as The Strange Man; and Ciarán McGlynn as Louis Carlysle; Silvia Napoleoni as Dracula's Bride; and David Maine as Frankenstein's Monster. 

The production was directed by Karen Davidson Perrins with assistant director Helena Byrne, make-up by Mags Dziadura and production assistants Benjamin Milling and Caitriona Curran.
