FARCE. The vampire council punishes Vampyre by exiling him to the heart of the Dark Forest, where he must live with the most horrific creatures known to vampires…faeries! In the Dark Forest, Vampyre meets a trio of annoying faeries including a nauseatingly sweet faerie who keeps trying to cheer him up with a hug. The famished Vampyre attempts to feed on one of the faeries, but discovers faerie blood tastes like glitter. To make matters worse, the faeries try to trick Queen Mab into thinking Vampyre is a faerie from the Faerie King’s summer court named Blindmelonflower by making him wear a faerie costume complete with fake faerie wings and glitter. In this case, all that glitters is not a faerie! This hysterical play offers numerous situations to showcase physical comedy.
