David Pinner

Published by Oberon

Three Vampire plays ...

Fanghorn is a darkly-surrealistic comedy which pokes fun at the Theatre of Cruelty

Fanghorn is a lesbian vampire, who invades the household of Joseph King, who may, or may not be the First Secretary to the Minister of Defence

Edred, the Vampyre is a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon bisexual vampire, who slept with Shakespeare but never bit him

Breaking all Bram Stoker's vampire laws, Edred loves garlic and crucifixes, so he lives in the village church where he is confronted by two students who Googled him

But soon the students wish they hadn't

Lucifer's Fair is about a fair run by the Devil to entrap unwary children

Lucifer is aided by Fangs, a bovver-boy by day and an incompetent vampire by night

Simultaneously scary and funny, Lucifer's Fair, with its comic spills, thrills and chills, highlights the unreliability of grownups, both the Living and the Undead

"If Ibsen, Genet and Agatha Christie had collaborated, they might have given us something like Fanghorn. David Pinner's wickedly funny play opens all the Freudian cupboards and lets the skeleton's dance in a splendid parody of perversion" ~ The Scotsman

"Like Francis Bacon, Pinner deliberately dislocates his images, in his black comedy, so they disturb and illuminate. His vampiric Fanghorn is filled with pungent and very funny dialogue" ~ The Guardian

"The Halloween musical, Lucifer's Fair, with its two teenagers trapped by the Devil and his bovver-boy vampire, Fangs, is gorgeously baroque, with its rousing songs" ~ Time Out
