The First Vampire

This was a solid hour at the Fringe. The actors made it for me. Highly energetic, hilarious, exaggerated performances played really well with the crowd. I have been so lucky win the lottery this year with all of these extremely talented performers! I couldn’t recognize them from anything I’ve seen before because the minute someone puts on a fake moustache or heavy makeup it’s like a scooby-doo fakeout to me, but they performed like veterans.

That being said, the play felt long, despite ending on time. Some scenes were repetitive and could’ve been cut. Pacing felt slow throughout, and then too fast at the end, which is too bad because the actors were truly outstanding. I would love to see this play with a little more editing in the future.
