Dai Cula: Prince of the Valleys
Thu 23 Oct 2025 7:30pm BSL
Black RAT Productions and Blackwood Miners’ Institute present
A new comedy by Richard Tunley
After binge-watching Who Do You Think You Are? Count Dracula becomes convinced he’s got royal blood—thanks to a dubious link between Vlad the Impaler and the Prince of Wales. So, he orders a flat-pack coffin off Temu, books himself an Airbnb, and sets off for the Black Forest… only to land in Blackwood in the South Wales Valleys!
At first, the locals think he’s just another eccentric in a cape. But when people start mysteriously disappearing and pest control is called to investigate a sudden bat problem, the town begins to wonder if their odd new visitor is more than just a lost tourist...
A fang-filled spoof bursting with laughs, Valleys pride, and a touch of garlic. A comedy about identity, heritage, and what it really means to be Welsh.
Brought to you by Black RAT Productions—masters of fast-paced, funny, and fearsomely good theatre.
Recommended for ages 11+
Supported by Arts Council of Wales
