Youngish Perspective
From the creators of LESBIAN SPACE CRIME and PANSEXUAL PREGNANT PIRACY comes this bone-chillingly hilarious riot and gay goth’s wet dream.
‘Belly-achingly hilarious.’
★★★★★ Shiny Life
‘Exactly the kind of show you want to see at Soho Theatre… Loud, messy, full of queer joy, and unapologetically ridiculous.’
★★★★ West End Best Friend

Butch loner Count Dykula loves her life, even though she’s technically dead. Her gothic castle slaps and she gets to prey upon humans who stray behind the big Asda.

But trouble looms when cultural powerhouse Scare University starts preaching “the right way to be a monster”, and the ultra-femme busty bloodsuckers being presented as the perfect vampire girlies are a far cry from the Count.

With her masculine pride hanging on by a cheap carabiner, she sets out to tear down Scare U’s human-normative regime. After all, she loves a garlic naan and can only turn into a bat after a few beers.

With more fake blood, fake boobs, and bats (real) than ever before, COUNT DYKULA is Airlock Theatre’s third big queer musical extravaganza.

 

BSL Interpreted Performance by Pettra St Hilaire: Wed 26 Feb
