On Saturday, November 13 beginning at 6 pm the next in our Lobby Lectures series will take place, including poet David Nelson Bradsher reading from his The Vampire Sonnets and Duke University assistant professor Carlos Rojas speaking on Vampires in Modern Culture.What is it about?Ten years ago, Burning Coal presented the Southeastern premiere of Conor McPherson's haunting 90 minute one-man show, St. Nicholas. Twenty inches of snow fell on Raleigh and almost all the performances were cancelled. Ten years on, director Randolph Curtis Rand (To Kill A Mockingbird) and actor Jerome Davis (Burning Coal's artistic director) once again pair up to resuscitate this chilling story. If you liked Burning Coal's productions of The Weir (1999) and The Seafarer (2010), then you will surely want to get tickets now for this funny and haunting story of a Dublin theatre critic who falls in love with a young actress and follows her to London ... straight into a coven of Vampires! It is the story of man at the very end of his rope, who somehow manages to find his way back. Ultimately it is a play of great beauty and richness that asks the question 'What is most important in life?'
