A very interesting way to present King’s book Salem’s Lot will take place in Bangor. The audience will have a say in what happens, and this will make each performance different from the others.

Here is what Bangor Daily News said:

Lights, music, improv, vampires.

“A Kick in Your Derry’ere!” will bring all these things to life this week at the Bangor Opera when ImprovAcadia and Penobscot Theatre Company take on mega selling author Stephen King in a sendup of one of his earliest works.

The show will follow the story arc of King’s second novel, “Salem’s Lot,” published in 1975, but be different each night based on suggestions from the audience. In the book, author Ben Mears returns to Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine, to write a novel about his childhood only to find there is a vampire endangering its citizens.
