Dion Boucicault – The Vampire (1852) and the Phantom (1873)

Description

Amser maith cyn ‘Dracula’ gan Stoker, roedd Dion Boucicault wedi gwefreiddio cynulleidfaoedd gyda ‘The Vampire’, cynhyrchiad a ymffrostiai mewn dyfeisiau llwyfan newydd a chyfansoddiad dramatig, ond nas cyhoeddwyd o’r blaen. Caiff y fersiwn a ailysgrifennodd o ‘The Phantom’ ei gyflwyno yma hefyd am y tro cyntaf.
Long before Stoker’s ‘Dracula’, Dion Boucicault thrilled London audiences with ‘The Vampire’. The production boasted innovations ‘ of stagecraft and dramatic composition, yet has never before been published. His rewritten version, ‘The Phantom’, is also presented here for the first time.
