A performance of a well known vampire story has completed a sold-out run.
The Bridport Stage Company performed Dracula at the British Legion Hall on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, June 14, 16 and 17.
Tim McClure who played Seward and Franz, was compared to Bill Nighy by one delighted fan, and Simon 'Jazzman' Hartung stole the show as a bat-biting madman.
Rob Bailey attended the performance. He said: ''It was a real pleasure to witness Dracula performed this evening with gusto and all the cast showing great presence and charisma.
"A beautiful and intriguing soundscape, and fabulous costumes all added to the dark magic.''
The show raised more than £500 for suicide prevention charity Samaritans.
A cake by resident 'cake fairy' Jane Clarke raised £75 on its own.
The company is an inclusive non-auditioning group where any age and level of experience are welcomed.
