"My First Hunt" Play Adaptation

My First Hunt is a coming-of-age tale about Viktor Von Schrek, a sensitive young vampire with an unnatural empathy for humans, faced with the trial of killing his first human. On Halloween night, Viktor’s authoritarian and vain father believes the fledgling is ready for the responsibilities of being a matured vampire, forcing him on his first hunt. Viktor must now decide to become like his father, living at the expense of humans, or abandon his family’s way of life, dying in the process. My First Hunt is an emotional story of personal growth conflicted between morality and traditional family values.

This adaptation of Crawshaw's short story, while capturing the spirit of the original tale, was written as a black comedy rather than as a psychological horror like the original, in order to suit the budget and audience's tastes.
