Blood Privilege by Don Fried - Regional Premiere

Elizabeth Bathory is known as the notorious Blood Countess of sixteenth-century Hungary, who according to legend, became one of the most renowned serial killers of all time in an ill-fated effort to maintain her youth. The play explores the circumstances of her life, from her youth, her growth into a highly capable manager of her familys estate, and as she ages, her increasingly fanatic obsession with her beauty. In the end, she is destroyed by the King in whose court she serves. The play touches on themes of sexuality, feminism, political power, and morality. There are significant parallels to the current political climate.

This is an as-yet unpublished play by Don Fried, who lived in the Boulder area until a few years ago. The play has now been performed professionally in New York and London, and we are pleased that the playwright has given permission to Theater Company of Lafayette to perform it in Colorado.

THIS PLAY IS INTENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY DUE TO SCENES OF VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT.
