Hooray, Nosferatu A conversational play

grown-ups

Vida’s disorder dictates a specific daily routine for her father, mother and teenage brother. It brings stigma and rejection from the social environment (even closest relatives). The family members tackle this in each their own way. Vida’s father Aleš, a writer by profession, subconsciously includes his fears and feelings of guilt in his stories.  Vida’s seizures and his fear for her life grow ever more evident in a crime story about a mysterious murder in which a resigned alcoholic defendant Aleš is prepped for his appearance in court by a young attorney Vida.

NATAŠA Someone’s glad. – Hurrah Nosferatu is a metal name, not a punk name.

LUKA What do you know.

NATAŠA I know a little.

LUKA You remember my painting that used to be exhibited at school? Two years ago?

NATAŠA Vida Showing the Moon?
