Vegan Vampires - Drac is Back

VEGAN VAMPIRES comedy play (with the Serenity Song) was inspired by my friend Fergus. He had just finished his play “The Night Vampires went after The Pope” and wanted me to publish it for him. I didn't know much about formatting a play and I had to learn this before publication so I looked at some published plays to learn a little more about formatting and became interested in writing one myself. I have several spy novels under my belt but love comedy so, just for something to do, I sat down at my computer and ideas started forming to create the short play “Vegan Vampires – Drac is Back.” I decided to write a sequel to Ferg's play but Ferg had already started on a sequel so, being mostly finished writing this one, I decided to make it a stand alone, with different characters. I went through several character changes until I liked the ones I finally picked and the situation they found themselves in...Addicted to Neck. I go to Anonymous Meetings myself so I thought 'What about Vampires trying to stop sucking blood and going Vegan?' Alcohol used to be glamourized in times past but now it has less of that magic appeal to me because of all of the problems alcohol abuse caused me. So in this day of Grande Lattes and everyone going vegan, I thought it interesting that Vampires may go through the same cultural change hence “Vegan Vampires – Drac is Back.” The title in the beginning was Drac is Back – Vampires Anonymous but I wanted to title to tell more about the play so I renamed it. I sent a copy to Fergus so he could finish it and it would be a collaboration but he was so busy with his play that I had to go it lone. It is a short play and not meant to drag on and it may be used before a headliner play or a play for Halloween. Fergus gave me the idea that some plays have two showings on the same night so that really appealed to me so I deliberately kept it short and trimmed any fat I found. I listened to Chopin's Funeral Theme Death March played on a piano as I did the final edit. To the actors: Have fun with it. Laugh at yourself. To the audience: Enjoy!! To my buddy Fergus: Thanks friend.
