​

Unsubdued Theatre Collective Sinks Its Teeth Into Valentine's Season with "Love Sucks: A Vampire Valentine's Day Revue"

​

Ten original short plays explore the eternal complications of love, death, and everything in between

​

BELLINGHAM, WA – When love and immortality collide, things are bound to get messy. This February, the Unsubdued Theatre Collective presents "Love Sucks: A Vampire Valentine's Day Revue". Enjoy ten original short plays that prove romance is complicated enough without adding fangs to the equation.

​

From mysterious strangers at the crossroads, to a star-crossed romance between a vampire and werewolf, to a family of bats working through their own romantic entanglements, "Love Sucks" offers a fresh bite on matters of the heart. Each piece is written and performed by local actors and playwrights, showcasing the vibrant theatrical talent within the Bellingham community.

​

"'Love Sucks' is our valentine to anyone who loves a compelling story," says showrunner Danielle Phillips. "Whether you're undead or just dead tired of dating apps, this show reminds us that affairs of the heart are universally complicated."

​

The revue features an eclectic mix of horror, humor, and drama, perfect for audiences looking to celebrate Valentine's season with something a little less conventional.
