A Dublin theatre critic chases an actress to London and falls in with a band of vampires in this tour-de-force about obsession, love, and the monster within. The vitriolic critic has made a career of destroying others -- until a seductive actress draws him into an unattainable infatuation. Once in London, he finds himself in the company of vampires with the perfect job for him: visiting pubs late at night to lure in good-looking young people.

Interesting play. Fred Sharkey was very good though I thought he moved around too much.

This one-man vampire story was not what I was expecting, but the actor did a really fine job of drawing you in. The Vamps didn't really "appear" until the second half, but by then I was hooked by the drunken exploits of a leering theater critic who lost his heart (and maybe his soul) to an actress. By then I'd had a couple of glasses of wine myself and was ready to join him in the bar.

If you like intimate theatre where the actor comes RIGHT up to you and breaks the fourth wall, you'll like this; if you don't, you won't. Cool little performance space.
