Seventy minutes. Seven seasons. One Spike.
Fresh from a smash-hit run at Edinburgh Fringe, Buffy Revamped, opens at The Lowry, Salford, tomorrow for a limited run. It’s a fast-paced new production, that brings you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 1990s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike.
The show, which will continue its tour around the country in a variety of towns and cities through 2023, the creation of comedian Brendan Murphy, whose last show, Friend: The One with Gunther, recently won the award for Best Play in the World Wide Comedy Awards.
Funny, satirical and bursting with 1990s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.
