St Nicholas

"When I was a boy, I was afraid of the dark…what was there. And maybe one of the things I thought was there were vampires."

An eccentric, teasing yarn of play from the multi-award-winning author of The Weir. When a jaded Dublin theatre critic (Alexander) abandons his ordinary life in pursuit of a beautiful young actress. His desires lead him to strike an irreversible bargain with a band of modern-day vampires. Is it all a drunken lie? A tantalizing fairy tale? His own version of a higher truth? Or an endless confession amidst a self-imposed purgatory.

"…a delectable droll celebration of storytelling as striptease…" - New York Times

McPherson’s chilling and spellbinding vampire tale features award-winning actor, Craig Alexander (Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol, Venus in Fur) who shares the stage with the inimitable singer/songwriter, guitarist, banjo and harp player, and storyteller himself, Den Hanrahan (Den Hanrahan and The Rum Runners).
