Malcolm Cowler’s stage adaption of J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s "Carmilla" closely follows the original story of Laura, a young woman living with her father in a remote mansion. Laura's life takes a mysterious turn when a carriage accident brings a stranger named Carmilla to their doorstep. Carmilla, a beautiful and enigmatic young woman, becomes a close friend to Laura. However, as their relationship deepens, Laura experiences unsettling and frightening events. Strange occurrences, such as mysterious illnesses and unsettling dreams, surround Carmilla.

The novella is renowned for its Gothic atmosphere, exploration of forbidden desires, and early contributions to vampire literature (it was written 20 years before Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”)
