SUCKERS: A VAMPIRE PLAY
by Duncan Pflaster
When Romaine and Jeff stumble into a quirky late-night coffeehouse run by eccentric bohemians, they don’t realize they’ve entered a den of vampires, with a taste for poetry, politics, and strong coffee. Elvis, the flamboyant head vampire, is moody, dramatic, and maybe a little too into Jeff. But it’s Romaine’s no-nonsense charm and sharp tongue that catch his eye, he’s tired of ruling with out-of-touch bloodsuckers and wants a partner with brains, backbone, and zero patience for bullshit. As tensions rise and loyalties shift, Romaine must decide whether to try to outwit the undead or become their reluctant queen. A sharp-witted, blood-soaked satire, Suckers gleefully skewers both human and vampire egos in a comically caffeine-fueled battle for power.
