ROLLER SOUL
A ROLLER SKATING HORROR THEATER PRODUCTION
Written, Produced and Directed by Carolyn Hamilton
ROLLER SOUL, A Roller Play
Synopsis
ROLLER SOUL was first written as a screenplay that was later adapted into a ROLLER SKATING HORROR SHOW LIVE ON SKATES! Lily’s only friend in the world is a washed up Floridian drag queen, Mrs. Bernadette Weatherly and the only one who knows their secret. Lily, a lonely succubus, is intrigued by San Francisco’s skate community with its family-like bonds. Lily sets her sights on one particular member, Skates, a hot, young star and the best roller skater in the world. “Roller Soul”, a new theatrical work by Carolyn Hamilton, follows these two star-crossed lovers and the one teeny tiny detail doomed to hamper their affair. Lily’s sexual encounters, like all succubi, culminate in ecstatic pleasure followed by the extraction of her lovers souls and their ultimate DEATHS. Will this ill-fated pair find a way to be together despite the fact that she is a monster? Will their devotion for skating save them both? Or will the good people of The Golden City, who have become quite suspicious of Lily due to the rash of unexplained murders since her arrival, break up not only the skate community, but a romance to die for?
Roller Soul’s original art by Tattoo Artist Miranda Brouwer
“My ultimate goal for Roller Soul is to make it a community driven live roller-skating horror theater show. I want to set up shop in a city and showcase local skate, drag performers and musicians.”
