A quick-change, gender-bending comedy!
Lord Edgar, an Egyptologist, is newly married to Lady Enid, and comfortably residing in Mandacrest Estate. However, Lord Edgar has yet to recover entirely from the passing of his first wife, the eerie Irma Vep.
Two nimble actors quickly change back and forth between roles of both genders in a world filled with vampires, ghosts, mummies and werewolves. Charles Ludlam’s groundbreaking satire pokes wicked fun at several genres, including Victorian melodrama, Wuthering Heights and Hitchcock’s film Rebecca.
