The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful
MAY 18 – JUNE 22, 2025
By Charles Ludlam
Directed by Joseph W. Ritsch
A laugh-out-loud farce
Gothic melodrama gets a high-camp celebration in this first-class comedy filled with murder and mayhem. With two actors playing 8 different characters and 30+ costume changes, this side-splitting quick-change marathon moves at breakneck speed. Charles Ludlam’s horror spoof sends these actors on a tour de force ride full of werewolves, mummies, and a scary amount of laughter.
