Laura has been left alone her entire life. After a mysterious girl is taken in by her father she gets what she has always wanted: a friend. This friend calls herself Carmilla.

You are invited to listen to famed vampire academic Baron Vondenburg’s archive of recordings, recounting the tale of Laura and Carmilla.

Based on Sheridan Le Fanu’s genre shifting novella, Carmilla takes the figure of the vampire to a modern day audience. In a world where technology is developing past our understanding and we are divided further than ever, we are forced to face the monsters that create or comfort our loneliness.

Written and directed by new and upcoming theatre maker Ev Hiles, Carmilla asks you to examine what it means to be alone or different in an ever changing world.

Find out for yourself at the world premiere of Carmilla on the 16th of September 2026 at the Lincoln Arts Centre.
