For one night only, the Year 11 Theatre Studies class at Clyde North campus will present Moira Buffini’s A Vampire Story as part of their Unit 1, Outcome 1 assessment.A Vampire Story is a gothic play following two mysterious women, Claire and Eleanor, who adopt new identities in a small town. The eldest, Claire, takes a job in a pub. The youngest, Eleanor, goes to school. During a truth exercise in her Drama class, Eleanor confesses that she has been alive for over two hundred years and has survived by drinking human blood. Her classmates think she is utterly crazy and Mint, her teacher, puts her in touch with the school counsellor. She makes one friend, Frank, a boy who has been home educated and is as much of an oddity as Eleanor. He tries to get to the bottom of her vampire delusion, thinking it an epic and compelling psychosis.
Eleanor has started to write her life story as a play. Meanwhile, things are falling apart. People are disappearing. Are Eleanor and Claire vampires? Or are they troubled young women on the run?
