Buffy fans are in for a treat at the Theatre Royal Brighton this month when the show Buffy: Revamped comes to the venue after a critically acclaimed season at the Edinburgh Fringe, for one night only on Monday, May 29 at 7.45pm

A spokesman said: “In this fast-paced new production the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, are told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… villain, anti-hero and trickster, Spike.

" Funny, satirical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references, it’s the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.
