CREW Director: Michael MoxhamSet and Costume Designer: Francesca Rodriques 
PRODUCTION NOTES Vampire begins with three girls in a nineteenth century Welsh parsonage, and finishes with a cynically manipulated designer 'modern' funeral; there is an implied link through the generations. Sex, death and the open door left by the death of God all invoke the heroic and operatic winds that fill the characters' sails. The stories comprise a nimble and intermittently elegant threnody for The Ancestors.I wrote it about forty years ago to skip from the middle of the (then) previous century in fifty year hops. It always feels an enormous privilege for me to see it done again. I discovered, writing it that the actual creatures of the title make late and somewhat peripheral appearances. We mortals have the edge on the undead: nothing salts a joke better than our own actual mortality. Snoo Wilson, Playwright
