“SOMETHING YOU WILL WANT TO GET YOUR TEETH INTO!…A HILARIOUS ROMP THROUGH BUFFY’S LIFE AND TIMES…I LOVED IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY.” British Theatre Guide  
After a critically acclaimed season at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, Seabright Productions are delighted to present the highly anticipated UK & Ireland Tour of Brendan Murphy’s brand new show.  
Coming hot on the heels of Murphy’s last show, Friend (The One with Gunther), which recently won the award for Best Play in the World Wide Comedy Awards, the award-winning success (Darkchat Awards 2022: Best Comedy Performer and Best One-Person Show) of Buffy Revamped has confirmed him as one of the country’s most talented young writer/performers with both critics and audiences. 
“Buffy fans are some of the smartest, funniest and kindest audiences you could ever hope to have at a show, and I can’t wait to bring this celebration of all things Buffy The Vampire Slayer to the Scoobs & Slayers lying in wait across the UK and Ireland.” Brendan Murphy 
“NO ONE DOES IT QUITE LIKE BRENDAN MURPHY…BRILLIANT.” Voice Magazine 
In this fast-paced new production we bring you the entire 144 episodes of the hit 90s TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as told through the eyes of the one person who knows it inside out… 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.  
“SUPERNATURALLY GOOD…THIS IS GEEK LOVE AT ITS BEST, AND COMEDY THEATRE AT ITS FINEST.” Starburst Magazine
