One of the
longest running plays in Off-Broadway history, “Vampire Lesbians of
Sodom” tells the saga of two fatally seductive vampiresses whose paths
first collide in ancient Sodom. Their bitter rivalry as bloodsuckers but
more importantly, as actresses, endures for two thousand years with stops
along the way in 1920’s silent movie Hollywood and contemporary Las Vegas.

escapes the demolition by laughter… The audience laughs at the first
line and goes right on laughing at every line to the end, and even at some
of the silences. That’s no mean achievement. ” Bruckner, New York
