Bat Brains or let’s explore mental illness with vampires

Scantily Glad Theatre—MTC Up the Alley

We were warmly welcomed by Sam Kruger and gently introduced to Scud the quirky, troubled and anxious vampire. It is a sympathetic portrayal enhanced by often cheeky disembodied voices of inner monologue/dialogue and stunningly beautiful interpretive movement. We accompany Scud on his perilous and chaotic journey to reconnect with the world after a long period of isolation. Resonant metaphor, I thought. I’m still hoping Scud is going to be OK.
