The Mystery of Irma Vep at Shakespeare & Company
February 4 - March 27
You don’t have to be a master of the anagram to figure out The Mystery of Irma Vep; a bigger mystery might be how two actors effect the quick-change magic to portray eight characters, including the ever-popular cross-dressed roles. This classic madcap, melodramatic mystery by Charles Ludlam, founder of the Ridiculous Theatre Company, is a frothy comedic cocktail blended from equal parts Hitchock, Victorian pulp fiction, and Gothic romp.
