The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon will present Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horrors on Saturday, October 22, at 7.30pm.
Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago.
Chris Green’s new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed by the composer, and combined with F W Murnau’s iconic images makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience. Tickets cost £12.50.
Dyad Productions will stage A Room Of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf at the Phoenix on Wednesday, October 19, at 7.30pm.
