Carmilla

By David MacDowell Blue

Premiering 21 November

“But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.”

Step into a world of gothic mystery, forbidden desire, and haunting beauty. David MacDowell Blue's Carmilla is inspired by Sheridan Le Fanu’s classic vampire tale that predates Dracula. It reimagines the story of a young woman whose secluded life is upended by the arrival of a mysterious stranger. As shadows lengthen and secrets unravel, love and fear intertwine in a chilling exploration of intimacy, obsession, and the supernatural.

Dark and atmospheric, this production brings to the stage a gothic tale of queer desire and haunting beauty that transcends time.
