August 29 – September 8 – The Mystery of Irma Vep (CRT)
Posted by Dustin Horton // August 20, 2012 // Arts & Live Music, Calendar of Events
A comedy, farce, thriller and mystery all rolled into one, written by Charles Ludlam. Called “a wild funhouse adventure”, the play features comic performances by two actors playing multiple characters, lightning-fast quick changes and hair-raising suspense. Seductive vampires, mysterious ghosts, a sympathetic werewolf and somebody’s mummy all wreck havoc in this raucous parody of Victorian morals and Hollywood horror. From England’s mysterious moors to the depths of an Egyptian tomb, this two-man “tour de farce” takes on everyone from Emily Brontë to Mel Brooks!
