Play One: Carmilla by David MacDowell Blue
Inspired by the original sapphic, gothic classic by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, this adaption of the vampire story by David MacDowell Blue takes place during the years of 1938 & 1945 in Austria.
In the aftermath of World War 2, Laura, a British national living in Austria during the Nazi occupation, falls under the suspicion of Captain Martin, an attorney with the British army. As Martin questions her on her family’s connection to a ruthless SS officer, a deeper mystery unfolds alongside it; that of the relationship between Laura and the enigmatic yet charming stranger taken in by her family. Who was Carmilla? And was she truly something other than human?.
