Phone: (207) 774-0465
Jan 26 thru Feb 21, 2010.

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!

This poignant award-winning Off-Broadway play is a trip worth taking. Map + Directions | Report Update
