Vampires, werewolves, mummies and an ancient family curse: Two actors take on all of this and more-via dozens of warp-speed quick changes-in this wildly absurd comedy. A feverish spectacle from beginning to end, delightfully campy and dripping with satire, The Mystery of Irma Vep is a farce to be reckoned with!
