Shaun Micallef
De’Ath Takes a Holiday – Book Launch
Move over Dracula, and take a number Nosferatu – there’s a new vampire in town, and after several thousand years he’s realised that the trouble with immortality is that eventually… it sucks.
To soothe his sickened soul, the Comte De’Ath embarks on a grand holiday. From psychoanalysis in Vienna to blood transfusions in London, the Comte learns that a change of scenery can do wonders for the eternally living. Along the way, he meets the Queen, helps win the Second Matabele War, nudges Henry Ford towards the American Dream and even manages to fall in love. But with his own funeral scheduled at Carfax Abbey, the real question looms – can he become mortal again in time to attend it?
Join national treasure Shaun Micallef as he takes the stage to delve into this bitingly funny Victorian Gothic tale for the modern age.
Suitable for audiences 18+
Language – mild language
