Vampirella by Angela Carter
Countess Vampirella: My demented and atrocious ancestors habitually sequestered themselves, from the light of the sun; each one, man or woman, I was a victim of the most terrible passion ... I scarcely dare speak its name. But love, true love, could free me from this treadmill, this dreadful wheel of destiny.
Count Dracula: My daughter, the last of the line, through whom I now project a modest, posthumous existence, believes ... that she may be made whole by human feeling.
Hero: She is so beautiful she is pitiful.
This is a first play for radio by Angela Carter , novelist and poetess who has won the Somerset Maugham award and the John Llewellyn Rhys prize for her work.
Other parts played by David Graham and Elizabeth Lindsay Produced and directed by Glyn Dearman
