SOME HOT NEW FANGS

TWINS ADD A SPOOKY NEW ‘TWIST’ TO STAGE PRODUCTION

- SUZANNE SIMONOT

DRACULA’S will shine the spotlight on ‘new blood’ tonight when it premieres its subversive and seductive new Vegas after-dark-style show

Nine Pints.

The latest production from the family-run Newman Entertainm­ent Internatio­nal team, Nine Pints opens at Dracula’s iconic Broadbeach theatre tonight and features an all-new cast – Stewart Reeve, Antonia Marr, William Rogers, Viola Skyes, Ben Winstanley and contorting twins Alyssa and Amy Cameron.

The 2015 World Acrobatic Champions, the identical Cameron twins, aka Aorta and Jugular in Nine Pints, have spent their lives training together in contortion, aerials and dance.

“We’ve got live rock-androll music, contorting twins and puppets,” Reeve says.

“The production value has stepped up, new pyrotechni­cs, brand-new sound system.”

Dracula’s creative director Marc Newman said Nine Pints was loaded with sassy vaudeville, aerial trance acts, live rock, dark mime, burlesque, insane comedy – and partial nudity.

“Be warned, there is partial nudity, extreme staging FX and adult themes,” he said.

Nine Pints follows previous vamp-romp TerrorByte, which marked the end of an era when it closed on Saturday with farewell performanc­es by long-time Dracula’s favourites Richard ‘Spine’ Macionis, Rudi ‘Vlad’ Testa and David ‘Kamikaze D’ Kume.

Nine Pints plays Dracula’s, Tuesdays to Saturdays.
