Photo Flash: First Look at Creepy Comedy THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP at The Theatre Project
The Theatre Project presents the thrilling two-hander, THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP, as part of their 5th Anniversary Season, for a strictly limited engagement this fall. THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP will take the stage of the historic Players Theatre in the heart of Greenwich Village from November 12 through November 21, 2015. BroadwayWorld has an exclusive look at the cast in action below!
TP&co unwraps a revival of Charles Ludlam's classic, which starts on a dark, stormy night, when Lady Enid arrives at the eerie estate of her new husband and strange things begin to happen. A sympathetic werewolf, a vampire and an Egyptian princess brought back to life all join in the fun of THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP. It's a hilarious parody of Victorian melodrama, gothic horror stories and Hitchcock-style suspense - With all of the characters portrayed by just two actors - this farcical spoof rips on classic films in the horror and psychological thriller genre, from Wuthering Heights to Rebecca and The Mummy's Curse.
THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP is the third production in The Theatre Project's Fifth Anniversary Season. Featuring Dominic Sellers and Tyler Nye, just two actors swap wigs, accents, and costumes to embody every single player.
THE MYSTERY OF IRMA VEP runs at the historic Players Theatre (115 Macdougal Street between West 3rd and Minetta Lane), with performances at 7:00PM every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from November 12 through November 21, 2015. Tickets and Group Sales are now available for purchase at www.TheTheatreProject.org. Tickets range from $40 - $60, and you may call OvationTix at 866-811-4111 or The Players Theatre Box Office at 212-475-1449. Tickets may also be purchased at the theatre box office, in person, one hour prior to performances.
