Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful

Tonight at 7:30 at the Off Broadway Theatre, Next Act Theatre launches its new production of Charles Ludlam’s Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful, a popular, idiosyncratic masterpiece starring John McGivern and Christopher Tarjan, and directed by the company’s artistic director, David Cecsarini. The play is a lightning quick comedy featuring intellectual absurdity, cross-dressing, quick changes and an entire ensemble cast depicted by just two manic actors.
