About this show
Lesbians, vampires and... communists? When love and desire are made monstrous, what beautiful monsters lovers make. Carmilla retells the lesser-known Gothic classic with a mid-century McCarthy twist. At the height of the Lavender Scare, Laura faces scrutiny over her entanglement one summer six years ago with an allegedly perverse and dangerous woman: Carmilla. What was once a cautionary tale, detailing the dangers of female sexuality, is reimagined as a queer love story. Charismatic, introspective and seductive – this show is a must-see.
