The event runs for 90 minutes at Leith Depot - Seated and is suitable for ages 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Nosferatu — the film that started vampire cinema — accompanied by a live original score is an experience quite different from watching a recording. Stephen's range of influences, from Charlie Christian to Bill Frisell, promises a score with real texture.
