The story of how “The Vampyre” by John William Polidori was written, retold in the most absurd, unhinged way. I was living for it.

This was sooo funny, with so much heart. Surprisingly! I wasn’t expecting it to tug at the heartstrings the way it did.

The actresses were chef’s kiss**. Absolutely brilliant at bringing the characters to life. Their comedic timing was spot on, and they had excellent chemistry together on stage. The duo of the unhinged Byron and the straight man Polidori worked very well.

There were some parts early on and in the middle of the play that felt a bit muddled as it switched back and forth between the history of the two friends and the story of “The Vampyre”. That being said, the juxtaposition of the two stories worked very well, especially when the characters hilariously, or sadly, found similarities between them.
