Bat Brains or let’s explore mental illness with vampires
Scantily Glad Theatre—MTC Up the Alley
We were warmly welcomed by Sam Kruger and gently introduced to Scud the quirky, troubled and anxious vampire. It is a sympathetic portrayal enhanced by often cheeky disembodied voices of inner monologue/dialogue and stunningly beautiful interpretive movement. We accompany Scud on his perilous and chaotic journey to reconnect with the world after a long period of isolation. Resonant metaphor, I thought. I’m still hoping Scud is going to be OK.

Bat Brains or let’s explore mental illness with vampires
Scantily Glad Theatre—MTC Up the Alley
Deeply personal and spectacularly physical comedy. Despite being extremely funny and sure to satisfy anyone looking for a laugh, the show manages to address the serious mental health struggles of both the real life performer and character with the gravity and care the topic deserves. Take all those elements, add some great fourth wall breaks and unexpected freshness, and you’ve got the quintessential fringe show.
