"Dracula is one part Artaud, one part Annie Sprinkle...Its an insanely detailed and gloriously sensual piece of theatre. We’re left in no doubt that horror and camp are lovers, incestuous and inseparable." The Australian

"Stylish, erotically charged and droll vampire romp...a striking achievement." The Age

"The cast are spectacular, precise and energised and bring the piece a delicious serve of irony and excess. Aldrich and Davies are superb. Little Ones are the country's leading proponents of queer theatre, and they've produced a gorgeous and playful piece... a juicy blood orange to sink ones teeth into." Time Out

"A triumph of theatrical design and visual storytelling." Maggie Journal

"A brilliant homage... Little Ones Theatre‘s winning streak of creating unique theatrical experiences continues." Theatre Press

"Little Ones Theatre have one of the most unique voices in Melbourne theatre. Director Stephen Nicolazzo embraces high-camp without the condescending tone or gender insult that camp laughs often come from. Inspired by the 1980s but seen through today’s eyes, their worlds are visually arresting, sexually free and always unforgettable." Sometimes Melbourne
