New Musical FIRE & BLOOD Set for Richland College Fannin Performance Hall, 10/17-26
by BWW News Desk - October 04, 2013
Experience the world premiere of 'Fire & Blood,' a new musical by Andy Long and Adam C. Wright at Richland College. In this new take on a familiar legend, the city of New Orleans finds herself rid of the poor in the wake of Katrina. All that remains is an unspoken balance between the city's socialites and its colony of vampires that have long inhabited the French Quarter. When a more powerful presence from an old European bloodline makes the city his new home, that balance is quickly thrown out of control. As the fight for power, love, and lust climaxes, one thing is certain ... there will be blood. This haunting re- imagining of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' proves that some stories never die. Recommended for mature audiences.
