The Mystery of Irma Vep
Central Square Theater
450 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge
450 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge
An English estate is haunted by its former mistress who has recently passed? or, has she? Two actors wear a caboodle of wigs, perform umpteen lightning-speed costume changes, and create a fantastical cast of characters including a sympathetic werewolf, a vampire, and a mummy. Elliot Norton winning director David R. Gammons (Vanity Fair, Frankenstein) reunites with fellow award-winner Paul Melendy (Vanity Fair) in this camp spoof of Gothic melodramas. Written by Charles Ludlam, the creator of New York?s subversive and iconoclastic Ridiculous Theatrical Company, The New York Times praised The Mystery of Irma Vep as ?Far and away the funniest two hours on a New York stage!?
