Vampire; or, The Bride of the Isles

by James Planché

“Vampire; or, The Bride of the Isles” is a dramatic play written by James Planché that reimagines the vampire myth, drawing inspiration from Lord Byron's fragmented novel. The story follows Lady Margaret, a young woman who faces a terrifying premonition of her own demise at the hands of a vampiric creature. When she meets Lord Ruthven, a captivating but enigmatic figure, her fears are confirmed. He is a vampire, consumed by a dark desire to consume her life force. The play explores themes of love, fate, and the allure of the forbidden, as Lady Margaret grapples with her growing attraction to the alluring yet dangerous Ruthven. The play unfolds amidst a gothic backdrop of the Scottish Isles, adding to the atmosphere of suspense and intrigue.
