spit&vigor returns to The Players Theatre to present the NYC premiere of Kelleen Conway Blanchard’s Blood Countess, the riotous semi-true story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who bathed in the blood of her victims throughout her reign of terror in the early 1600s (allegedly). A brilliant woman from a noble family, she is believed to have murdered anywhere from 60-600 young women. This play is a fictionalized account of her life. We know she was tried and convicted of her gruesome crimes. The rest we must suppose. From the company that brought Ectoplasm to The Players Theatre and In Vestments to West Park Presbyterian Church, Blood Countess is a deliciously dark blend of bodice-ripping romance, historical costumes, club beats, sex, death and swashbuckling swordfights.
