Silent Dracula Film with Live Music Accompaniment
Nosferatu (1922) was the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and perhaps the first of the 'horror' film genre. Its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling for audiences today as it was 100 years ago. As 'spooky October' builds towards Halloween, this classic old horror film, shown in the very atmospheric Medieval Barn, really sets the tone for the season! Chris Green plays a live musical accompaniment to go with the silent film.
In 2022 English Heritage commissioned Chris Green to write a new score for an outdoor live screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments, and combined with F W Murnau's iconic images it makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience.
Chris Green is no stranger to the Medieval Barn, having done several performances here in recent years along with his partner Sophie Matthews, the other half of GreenMatthews. Their period music and comedy shows have included The Canterbury Tales, A Brief History of Music, Gaudete, and Witty Ditties. Chris is a regular musician at Shakespeare's Globe, and was one of the musicians on BBC’s Poldark. He also writes and composes.
The film starts at 7.30pm. Bar open from 7pm. Seating is unreserved. Tickets available online from Ticketsource or via the Barn website.
