Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Hollywood actress Clare Kramer, who played villain Glory in the cult programme, will appear at the third Slayerfest convention at the Caxton Theatre, in Cleethorpe Road, in April.

Clare, who played villain Glory in the fifth series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, will appear at the third Slayerfest convention at the Caxton Theatre.

Buffy is one of the most popular sci-fi programmes on American and British screens and the Slayerfest events pay homage to the stars, films, shows and books.

Organiser Andy Evans said: "It should be pretty big news for sci-fi and Buffy fans that we have attracted what we hope will be the first of more guests to appear at the theatre."

Clare will also be seen shortly in the new American Psycho prequel, The Rules Of Attraction, with James Van Der Beek, who plays Dawson in Dawson’s Creek.

She also played catty cheerleader Courtney in Bring It On.
