Phone: (207) 774-0465

Jan 26 thru Feb 21, 2010. A hilariously exaggerated spoof of Gothic horror and Victorian melodrama in which an unsuspecting woman marries a mysterious Lord, only to discover that the presence of his first wife still haunts the manor house. Complete with vengeful vampires and damsels in distress, Irma Vep is filled with witty literary allusions, subversive political jabs and one of the funniest "penny dreadful" plots ever to take the stage!

When an elderly Jewish dry cleaner walks into the path of an oncoming yuppie's car, a judge with a sense of humor requires the young man to pay a series of weekly visits to his victim. What starts out as an "Odd-Couple" style comedy about two worlds colliding becomes a surprising story about the dangers of intolerance and isolation as each man discovers a profound and uplifting lesson from each other's mistakes. This poignant award-winning Off-Broadway play is a trip worth taking.   Map + Directions   |   Report Update
