Buffy Revamped
Buffy Revamped is a one-person comedic stage show created and performed by British-Irish comedy writer Brendan Murphy. It is a parody and tribute to the cult TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, condensing all seven seasons into a single, 70-minute performance. Concept The show follows Spike as he recounts the events that took place in ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' from his own point of view, using a blend of comedy, physical performance, and impersonations. Reception The show has been met with positive reviews for its humor, creativity, and physicality. The Age called it "a hilarious trip down a '90s pop culture vortex," and TimeOut also recommended its "90s nostalgia".

Lyric Theatre, London
The Lyric Theatre is a West End theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue in the City of Westminster. It was built for the producer Henry Leslie, who financed it from the profits of the light opera hit, '' Dorothy'', which he transferred from its original venue to open the new theatre on 17 December 1888.
