Vampire romance?! Amazing. This play about a college student who falls for a vampire, asks to be turned into a vampire, and has to learn how to navigate the fallout is cute and sweet and funny and sad and surprising. Bonus points that it's easy to stage, with a small cast and simple sets. I love this take on vampire lore, with self-aware jokes and some twists on how we imagine vampires to be. Wholly original fun!

Leah can relate to Harmony's disappointment in not being "delicious enough to finish"! But audiences won't have the same reaction to Heyman's lesbian-vampire-rom-com as it will leave them "fangry" for more monster-lore building. My fav: "There’s no such thing as werewolves."

Right off the bat (ha ha): incredibly sexy, romantic piece. But that's the baseline, friends. Total admiration of how Heyman found some inventive ways to portray the vampire mythos, considering how worn the trope can be. That's not present here, though, as there's some surprising life affirmation coming from the undead. Whoda thunk it? A lot of good laughs as well. This expanded version from the original ten-minute fleshes things out nicely. Would love to see this staged!
