Butch loner Count Dykula loves her life, even though she's technically dead. Her gothic castle slaps and she gets to prey on humans who stray behind the big Asda. But trouble looms when Scare University preaches "the right way to be a monster" and Dykula sets out to tear down the ultra-femme busty bloodsuckers who rule the school. 'Belly-achingly hilarious' ***** (ShinyLife.co.uk) and a gay goth's wet dream, Count Dykula comes from the creators of Pansexual Pregnant Piracy (Soho Theatre) and Lesbian Space Crime.
