The Mystery of Irma Vep

Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, New Orleans

About the Show

This gothic spoof, inspired by Victorian England’s sensationalistic “Penny Dreadfuls,” moves from the foggy moors of Mandacrest Mansion to the hidden tombs of Egypt… and back for a dramatic and revealing climax. This classic melodrama celebrates all things theatrical while sending them up with hilarious consequences.
