Plexus Polaire stages Dracula through a life-sized puppet at Edinburgh Fringe

Plexus Polaire's "Dracula: Lucy's Dream" runs at the Lennox Theatre, Pleasance at EICC, from 6 to 29 August as part of the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Directed by Yngvild Aspeli, the roughly hour-long, near-wordless production isolates Lucy Westenra's decline from Stoker's novel, using a life-sized puppet that replaces her as Dracula drains her. Daily shows at 17:30; tickets from £19.50; age 14+.
