THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP – A PENNY DREADFUL
By Charles Ludlam
Directed by Jim Helsinger
June 20 - July 14
Lauded as “the funniest two hours anywhere” by
The New York Times and “lunatic fun that keeps you
in stitches” by The Daily News, this madcap mystery
features werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and damsels
in distress. In a parody of the gothic literary “penny dreadful”
tradition, Charles Ludlam’s spoof reaches from the eerie
moors of England to the depths of an Egyptian tomb. A
hilarious sendup of Victorian melodrama, this comedic,
quick-change tour-de-force features an unforgettable cast
of characters —all played by two actors—and promises to
leave you breathless with delight.
Recommended for Ages 12+
