In the 19th century Karl Marx used the vampire as a metaphor for the capitalist class he saw around him. Burjesta Theatre have taken that idea and applied it to the times we live in today and thrown in a little bit of Blade, a sprinkling of Jason Bourne and a great soundtrack of music to get your feet tapping and your hips swaying as Burjesta Theatre present Reign of Vampires at the Casa on Hope Street on Saturday 10th, Monday 12th, Wednesday 14th, Friday 16th and Saturday 17th May.
‘There’s screams in the mountains…
There’s screams from the dance hall…
Tho’ in the cemetery all has gone quiet…’
Here on earth reign the vampires supreme
Mankind enslaved in ignorance
And the end is nigh…
From the Swiss Alps to the vaults of the Bank of England
Watch the spectacle of death unfold
Hear the screams and the sighs
And watch your body start to sway to music to die for from –
U2, The Cramps, The Stranglers, Frank Sinatra, Bjork, Sonny & Cher, The Fall…
