Summer Play: The Mystery of Irma Vep Written by Charles Ludlam July 3 - August 3
Charles Ludlam's rollicking satire - performed by just two actors - skewers several theatrical, literary and film genres, including Victorian melodrama, farce, the penny dreadful, Wuthering Heights and Rebecca. This definitive spoof of Gothic melodramas, recently revived Off-Broadway to raves, is a quick-change marathon in which two actors play all the roles. A sympathetic werewolf, a vampire and an Egyptian princess brought to life when her tomb is opened make this a comedy that has everything.
