Overview

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 over 8 roles each 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.
