The Red Sacrament

About this event

A savage, hypnotic dive into the lives & deaths of a coven of vampires living in 19th Century Paris on the cusp of revolt & revolution, perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Paris, 1869. The Théâtre Saint-Siméon is the place to be, if you can get in. The black slips of paper that guarantee entry are highly desired but rare. The actors on stage are magnetic & ageless, performing only at midnight & never seen during the day... Arnault & his clan of vampires have survived for as long as they have by observing a rigid set of rules. At night, they perform on stage at the Théâtre Saint-Siméon, picking off just enough people in the audience to survive. But they understand the city, and how to go unnoticed. The ir peace is shattered first with a visit from Béatrice, a witch who forms a strange connection to Arnault; then with the arrival of Victor de Rouvray & his sister Françoise, vampires from a very different world. And, as Arnault grows closer & closer to the beautiful, enigmatic Victor, he risks becoming distracted from the constant bickering of his immortal friends, from the daily running of the theatre, and worse, from the premonitions of blood, death & starvation that he receives at night. For a terrible change is on the horizon, revolt & revolution are brewing in the streets and soon, the city, and Arnault, will never be the same.
