Death Bites is a smart, savvy take on that edge between life and death. Metz tackles a challenging subject with comedic ease and delivers a play that will make you laugh out loud with such preposterous deathbed choices. What would you choose?

A vampire with sympathy for his victims! A sassy, opinionated heroine who just happens to be on her deathbed! It seems like a match made in heaven, but the characters in this clever, pathos-filled two-hander are a bit too complex for easy endings. It's full of beautiful language, laugh-out-loud one-liners (and one recurring bit that had me howling), and an enemies-to-friends conclusion that will leave you with a wonderful, satisfying feeling.

Sweet, dark, and pulling at my heart strings, this short play takes on the theme of mortality in a comically twisted way. Full of irony, the protagonist navigates her death with an ingenuously slapstick vampire.
