About the show
My Brother Was a Vampire, from Immigrant's Daughter Theatre and Lil Poppet Productions, is a supernatural drama told in reverse. It follows siblings Skye and Callum through a tangle of love, trauma, secrets and dark humour, with Skye's eerie abilities blurring the line between control and illusion. Minimal staging and an unflinching tone draw audiences into a ghostly, suspenseful puzzle about family dysfunction and survival. The show runs for 50 minutes at the Studio as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025, for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Told in reverse with minimal staging, this ghostly family drama earns its supernatural premise by grounding it in genuine emotional honesty. A taut, compact piece for those who like their theatre dark and thought-provoking.
