Mr Tom Jacobson

Tainted Blood Mr Tom Jacobson

Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle use logic and religion to fend off a seductive vampire in this fang-in-cheek comedy/thriller. "Jacobson's clever play balances repressed Victorian sexuality, historical anecdote, over-the-top hilarity and vampire melodrama into an intoxicating brew." -L A Weekly "Tom Jacobson's clever satiric pastiche pits Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle against the undead. Drawing on the three writers' shared fascination with the occult, Jacobson assembles them at Wilde's Irish estate for a demonstration by a sinister Indian mesmerist. A dizzying tapestry of literary and mythological vampire lore overlays Wilde's own demons." -Los Angeles Times
