The Highgate Vampire at The Cockpit

A riotous new dark comedy. London, 1970. A Vampire lurks in Highgate Cemetery...

More of this is true than we would like.

London, 1970.

Something horrifying stalks the streets of London. A creature with blazing red eyes, sucking the life out of all who cross its path, leaving only terror in its wake.

A demon-hunting Priest and his sworn enemy, a man who’s a tobacconist by day and a vanquisher of the undead by night, both set out to destroy the creature forever. An uneasy alliance. London’s own vampire. Both are heading to the dark heart of Highgate.

And now, if you’re sitting comfortably, they will tell you how it happened….

“This tale is undoubtedly true. And WE have come to tell it….”

Based on real events, the critically acclaimed Bag of Beard Theatre brings you the unheard and undead tale of ‘The Highgate Vampire’. A new dark comedy that asks you to imagine, among other things, what if The Mighty Boosh had performed the Woman in Black?

A horrifying new play, an ink-dark comedy and very possibly the most shocking true story you haven’t heard. Yet.

It is time for the lecture to begin. Always Beware the Highgate Vampire….
