READ ABOUT THIRST IN THE NY TIMES

"In the Forest, a Maiden Undone"

"Coleridge Comes to SoHo, On a Budget"

Thought by many to be one of literature's earliest references to vampirism, Samuel Coleridge's poem Christabel is an unfinished enigma. Telling the story of a young maiden visited and ravished by a fantastical stranger, Coleridge dangles references to lesbianism and gothic terror before leaving his audience in endless suspense.

In this contemporary theatrical retelling of Christabel's tale, THIRST: a spell for Christabel, written by Monika Bustamante and directed by Elena Araoz, the medieval model of fairy tale (a helpless damsel in distress, a royal father as protector) is turned on its head, and feminine power, guilt, and redemption are viewed from all angles. Her innocence is no longer assumed. As the dark story unfolds, Christabel's carefully constructed image unravels, and with it, any preconceived ideas of a helpless damsel in distress.
