Blood Doll




1M,2F. Two vampires and their blood doll must figure out a way to get back to normal, when one of the vampires loses his virility.


"The second act gave us Kate Guyton’s BLOOD DOLL, another highlight of the evening. [In this] sexually charged script... Stephen Banks’ direction made the situation come alive of two vampires (Courtney Loner and Samuel Gresham) and the human "blood doll" (Sharon Zinger) that they have made use of for the past three years for their games of pursuit and blood-sucking pleasure. The reversals of role that pepper the script gave it sparkling life throughout, aided by Ms. Loner’s expressive, masterful performance and the ambivalent charm of Mr. Gresham. Mr. Banks’ fluid, active direction also made sure Ms. Zinger held her own against these powerhouse performers." (Playgoer, TheaterReview.com, 2017)
