Late Sleepers, The

Late Sleepers, The
In a junk-strewn wasteland in a distant future a gang of young people, the Late Sleepers - self-styled vampires, dressed in black and scarlet with bright dyed hair - scrape a strange existence on the outskirts of a walled, city. their leader is Gabriel, a dark brooding presence whose jealously guarded store of music, videos and DVDs from earlier centuries has informed the gangs' unlikely passion for classic TV, horror movies and P01) songs. When two strangers, James and elsa, stumble on the Sleepers' hideout, they are intrigued l)y this all-singing, all-dancing gang, and begin a chain of events which will explore both the light and the darkness of their rock and roll vampire existence. With show-stopping numbers, a high gothic wedding, Drama and betrayal, and, ultimately, heart-breaking bravery, the Late Sleepers is a fascinating romp through the world of the Undead, of popular culture, and of teenage rebellion.
