Carmilla
By David MacDowell Blue
Premiering 21 November
“But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.”
In a secluded Austrian castle, young Laura’s life is forever changed by the arrival of a guest- the beautiful and beguiling Carmilla. What begins as a story of companionship soon transforms into something far more terrifying. As Laura’s health declines, her father and governess must save her from a tangled web of affection and predation.
Inspired by J. S. Le Fanu’s gothic classic Carmilla, this production brings to the stage a haunting tale of loneliness, queer desire, and the supernatural.
