“SOMETHING YOU WILL WANT TO GET YOUR TEETH INTO!…A HILARIOUS ROMP THROUGH BUFFY’S LIFE AND TIMES…I LOVED IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY.” British Theatre Guide
Seabright Productions presents Brendan Murphy’s brand new show, Buffy Revamped, at The Everyman, Sunday 25th June 2023.
Coming hot on the heels of Murphy’s last show, Friend (The One with Gunther), which recently won the award for Best Play in the World Wide Comedy Awards, the award-winning success of Buffy Revamped (Darkchat Awards 2022: Best Comedy Performer and Best One-Person Show) has confirmed him as one of the country’s most talented young writer/performers with both critics and audiences.
“We’ve had such an incredible turnout so far with Buffy fans of all stripes coming out in full force, packing out theatres across the UK & Ireland and celebrating their shared love of all things Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I’m very happy to be able to add more performances to what’s been such a fun tour, including dates at London’s iconic Clapham Grand, my first-ever hometown show at Birmingham Rep and a return to my ancestral home via the 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin!” Brendan Murphy
“NO ONE DOES IT QUITE LIKE BRENDAN MURPHY…BRILLIANT.” Voice Magazine
In this fast-paced new production we bring you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… Spike.
Funny, satirical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.
“SUPERNATURALLY GOOD…THIS IS GEEK LOVE AT ITS BEST, AND COMEDY THEATRE AT ITS FINEST.” Starburst Magazine
