Vamp

by Ry Herman

A vinyl-clad supernatural girl-meets-girl comedy. Chloë, a slightly insane writer and slush-pile reader, is becoming increasingly irritated by the imaginary people living in her apartment. One evening at a nightclub, she meets Angela, an attractive goth astrophysicist. The two hit it off and begin dating, but they soon discover that they’ve both been keeping disturbing secrets from each other. This play has been performed to critical acclaim off-off-Broadway and throughout the U.S., and contains everything you ever wanted to know about monsters, meteors, vampires, and imaginary friends.

About the author

Ry Herman is the author of This Princess Kills Monsters, Love Bites, and Bleeding Hearts. Born in the US, they are now a permanent Scottish resident. Ry is bisexual and genderqueer.

Their upcoming book, This Knight Topples Empires, is a raucous, tongue-in-cheek spin on the Romanian fairy tale "The Girl Who Pretended to Be a Boy". A knight attempts to thwart an invasion only to get caught in a whirlwind of botched disguises, accidental heroics, talking animals with surprisingly strong opinions, and one very inconvenient crush on the most sought-after princess in the land.

Ry has worked at a variety of jobs, including submissions editor, theatre technician, and one job which could best be described as typing the number five all day long. Ry acts and directs, and has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Their hobbies include baking bread, playing tabletop roleplaying games, and reading as many books as humanly possible.

A brilliant play. Much better to see on the stage but you should still read it!
