From two of the team that created the highly-popular musical The Demon Headmaster comes this energetic and original rock musical for a large cast of young people. Originally commissioned and performed by the National Youth Music Theatre.
In a junk-strewn wasteland in a distant future a gang of young people The Late Sleepers &mdash self-styled vampires dressed in black and scarlet with bright dyed hair &mdash scrape a strange existence on the outskirts of a walled city. Their leader is Gabriel a dark brooding presence whose jealously guarded store of music videos and DVDs from earlier centuries has informed the gang&rsquos unlikely passion for classic TV horror movies and pop songs. When two strangers James and Elsa stumble on the Sleepers&rsquo hideout they are intrigued by this all-singing all-dancing gang and begin a chain of events which will explore both the light and the darkness of their rock and roll vampire existence. With show-stopping numbers a high gothic wedding drama and betrayal and ultimately heart-breaking bravery this is a fascinating romp through the world of the Undead of popular culture and of teenage rebellion.
