About this show
SUCCUBUS is a new one-woman horror comedy that puts men on the menu. A young woman, dismissed by doctors as hormonal, must navigate a blooming new appetite. As she attempts to carve a path of ethical consumption in a less-than-ethical world, she realises she may not be alone. With a wink to cult horror classics, SUCCUBUS is coming-of-rage fable with delicious heart, inviting audiences to savour a richer, wilder vision of feminine possibility. SUCCUBUS is a debut play written and performed by Georgina Collins, directed by Grainne Robson, produced by Halfway Productions.
