Carmilla David MacDowell Blue

An adaptation of the gothic classic, resetting it in the Third Reich and capturing all the ambiguity of the original. Laura's isolated life as the daughter of an ex-patriot Englishman in Austria slowly shatters as the Nazis take power. But more than that, she meets a very lonely and mysterious house guest. Carmilla has secrets, not least her basic nature--but she seems to love Laura very much. What might that love entail? (9 characters, 5 women, 4 men) One set, approximately 75 minutes in length.
