Vampires and Valentines

 There's a special event at Hay Castle on Saturday 17th February, at 7.30pm.  It's a performance by candlelight, in the Great Hall, based on the novella Carmilla by Sheridan le Fanu, a tale of vampiric infatuation!  Or rather, the supernatural being in question is an oupire, from Slavic myth, a living being who has been cursed or possessed by evil spirits - but like classic vampires, they have a weakness to sunlight and can be killed by a stake through the heart.

Laura is played by Gemma Aukett

The Book is by Graeme Hobbs,

and the music is written and performed by Dafydd Roberts and John Whatling.

Tickets are £10.
