Suitcase Stories – Nosferatu (Dementia-Friendly)

A tiny world telling of a classic story. Atmospheric and very playful, Nosferatu is influenced by the 1922 silent horror film, and uses object theatre and puppetry to reflect the artistry of the expressionist German filmmaker F. W. Murnau.

Created and performed by Freda O'Byrne, this is her third Suitcase Story, and is for older children and adults who will enjoy the twists and turns of the classic tale. With an original score by John Moore.

This specially adapted version has been created for people living with dementia, supported by Creative Scotland. As part of the event, Freda will introduce herself and the suitcase and describe aspects of the performance. The audience will have the opportunity to hand round elements of the show to explore while Freda answers questions.

The running time is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour with the performance lasting 30 minutes within that time.
