Show Info

By Joseph Wilde
Directed by Rebecca Atkinson-Lord

With Carla Langley and Rendah Heywood

Imagine a world without sunlight where Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins and the cast of Dante's Inferno are real; where princes with adjectives instead of names seduce beautiful princesses; where there's just one living, breathing human being to cuddle. Welcome to Eve's world.

Eve is a 13-year-old vampire. She has never left her room and everything she knows about the world comes from her sister Tabby and her storybook characters. Eve does everything a good little vampire girl should, including drinking her human sister's blood. But one day, Tabby tires of opening her veins and, in a breath, Eve's whole world changes.

Cuddles is the stunning debut play from Capital Award-winning young playwright Joseph Wilde.

Reviews

"A sensational little shocker" - The New York Times Critic's Pick

"The vampire story has been done to death -- but Cuddles puts a fantastic spin on it... You won't forget it, either." - The New York Post

"The finale sends you out into the dark with a shiver." - The Guardian

"Cuddles is a smart and gruesome gothic tale that reveals Wilde as a writer with a great deal of confidence and nerve." - Time Out London
