Audition Notice
Vampyre!!!
By Tony Moore
In a small village, miles from anywhere, life is going on as usual. The pub sells it’s two pints a week, the squire’s gardener works only at night and the sexiest milkman, er, milkmaid, er, milkperson in the world delivers the milk every morning about 3 am. Enter a Professor in search of a vampire and a handsome but incredibly stupid young hero and the complications begin. They twist and twist until the plot is completely braided.
In 1997 Tony Moore was commissioned to write a serious production of Dracula to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Bram Stoker’s book. During the process he kept coming up with some really bad jokes. Vampyre!!! is all the things he couldn’t put into Dracula, and then some!
