All 144 episodes of the Nineties show will be retold by the fictional vampire William ‘Spike’ Pratt at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre on June 1, 2023.

Buffy Revamped is, funny, satrical and bursting with 90s pop-culture references. It is the perfect parody for Buffy aficionados and those who never enrolled at Sunnydale High alike.
