Before Dracula, there was Carmilla…
The original gothic lesbian love story.
Step into the seductive world of Carmilla, a bold, female-driven adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu’s gothic novella. Written and directed by Laura J Harris and presented by Chalice Productions, this haunting tale explores love, desire, and the supernatural while embracing and enriching the novella’s LGBTQIA+ themes and gothic beauty.
“Haunting, tragic and wonderfully terrifying” — North West End
“A very haunting and unearthly evening.” — Number 9 Reviews
“A mesmerising story.” — North West End Review
When the enigmatic Carmilla enters Laura’s life, she is drawn into a whirlwind of attraction and mystery. But as strange occurrences unfold, Laura begins to question the true nature of her captivating companion.
Carmilla seamlessly intertwines horror and romance in a thrilling reimagining of the classic vampire myth.
Critically acclaimed for its atmospheric storytelling and spine-tingling original score, composed by Harris, Carmilla captivates with its intoxicating mix of sensuality, suspense, and tragedy.
Love will have its sacrifices. No sacrifice without blood.
