Guest Andi_Brooks Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm researching Bela Lugosi's 1951 British tour of Dracula. During the week of August 6 - 11 he appeared at the Lyceum. While in Sheffield he opened the wet pea cannery at Batchelors. I'd love to hear from anyone who either witnessed the event or knows about it, saw Dracula at the Lyceum or worked at the Victoria Hotel where he stayed during his visit.

dunsbyowl1867 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Possibly the most bizarre story on here! There is someone on Sheffield Forum who claims to have a photo - I assume the Star must have covered it? http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-456528.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall seeing Bauhaus at the Lyceum in October 1982 but alas they did not play BLD which would have been a nice piece of symmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to find a copy of the photo or coverage of the event in the local press without success. I'm currently in Tokyo, which complicates things a little.

Guest Andi_Brooks Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Lyceum I think this image is from my Lugosi blog. At the moment it's the only part of the programme I have, but I've asked the Lyceum if they have a complete copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Would be interesting; there is a link to the original - click on Lyceum in my original reply - nice work.
