"You will laugh your face off." -Tribune
The Mystery of Irma Vep
November 12 – December 13
Two actors take on innumerable dramatis personae in Ludlam's high-camp quick-change romp. Vep satirizes all that is ridiculous in Gothic horror, Victorian melodrama, classic film, and conventional theater--and it's also a contender for the funniest American play of the last quarter-century.
"Court Theatre ... has a winner... Is it funny? Oh, yes. You will laugh your face off."
"... a show as deft, well-timed and polished as a discriminating vampire fang meeting its mark."
–Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
