Photos: BLOOD COUNTESS Opens At The Players Theatre NYC

The new stage work BLOOD COUNTESS is playing now at The Players Theatre NYC. See photos from the production below.

Blood Countess, is the riotous semi-true story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who bathed in the blood of her victims throughout her reign of terror in the early 1600s (allegedly). A brilliant woman from a noble family, she is believed to have murdered anywhere from 60-600 young women.

This play is a fictionalized account of her life. We know she was tried and convicted of her gruesome crimes. The rest we must suppose. Blood Countess is a deliciously dark blend of bodice-ripping romance, historical costumes, club beats, sex, death and swashbuckling sword fights.

Warning: Nudity and violence. If that's your thing, we'll see you there.
