by Harry Kondoleon

Press Reviews
"A biting, wildly funny black comedy by one of our theatre's most brilliantly creative playwrights. The play uses antic flights of fancy and absurdist humor to explore the dark underside of America's apparent well-being. ”As he's demonstrated in the past, Mr. Kondoleon is a promising young writer with a tart tongue and off-the-wall sensibility.“ —The New York Times. ”…a terrific sense of how to keep an audience entertained from moment to moment…a fierce, even apocalyptic vision.“ —Village Voice. ”Kondoleon is a fast hand with absurd humor, particularly the telling quip that reveals personality.“ —New York Daily News. ”THE VAMPIRES with its off-beat humor and world of its own indicates a writer of special gifts."
