Everyman Theatre will present Charles Ludlam's comedy The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful from May 18 to June 22, 2025. The production features Bruce Randolph Nelson and Zack Powell, who will portray eight characters in a fast-paced, humorous narrative filled with gothic themes, including vampires and mummies. Directed by Joseph W. Ritsch, this high-camp show explores identity and survival through comedic escapades and elaborate costume changes, marking Nelson's 50th production at the theater. The staging promises a delightful blend of farce and physical comedy that celebrates the rich traditions of melodrama.
