The Mystery of Irma Vep
Author(s):
Charles Ludlam
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. "Far and away the funniest two hours on a New York stage . . . . What more meaningful gift could Ludlam bequeath [audiences] than to leave them eternally laughing. --N.Y. Times. "A really good laugh . . . The story has to be seen to be believed."- MY Post. "Lunatic fun that keeps you in sfitches."-N.Y. Daily News. "A true vaudeville tour de farce. . . . It's wonderful."-Time. "A hearty mixture of thrills, laughter and extravagant showmanship."-Village Voice.
