The gothic Chamber a computer terminal filled with ribbed vaults beams out the wedding ceremony attendees. 

(Music plays a gothic inversion of a wedding song)

There is something dark in the air ready to spoil the most conventional of ceremonies. 

At the other end of the room,  Bartholomew is standing by the the gothic chamber computer terminal.

Cherub: we are gathered here today to witness the union of Bartholomew Benezar and his bride… 

I say a speech foreshadowing the later events of the performance

The Guest takes a picture of Poppy to see the bride is not in the photo

The Guest: Bartholomew she's not in the photo 

Bartholomew: what do you mean she is right here? 

The vampire bride glances at the Guest. 

The guest in fear starts trembling and praying

 

Bartholomew: “We are all ghouls here tonight….”

(Incidental music plays)

Poppy pins Bartholomew down whilst her hands are tightly pressed on his shoulders

she is flinging him side to side maintaining hypnotic eye contact.

We carry on this movement from one end of the area to the other.  

The Guest cowers with the camera responding to our movement with fear as we move closer and away 

We both scream but my scream begins to be drowned out by her exuberant laughter as she bites me with her fangs.

The Vampire Bride: The fangs that hold you tight my dear of course I love you!

 Bartholomew is dead on the floor. 

(Music moves to the vampire bride's heavy breathing)

cherub screams with choral-like extremities as he is attacked by THE VAMPIRE BRIDE 

Poppy pins Cherub and Then the Guest down.

 Act Two: The Fangs Rise 

After the first bites we are dead and then we rise from the dead as Poppy

 is lying by us her head facing down towards the throat of her final victim. 

Patrick is the first to rise up and begins a solo of chanting and vocals 

Patrick strips and changes outfit 

Poppy is laughing to herself and staring at the audience she taunts them

swirling and spiralling around the room.
