Directed by Danica Jenelle Jackson
Two actors play a myriad of characters in this high-camp, quick-change marathon. The Mystery of Irma Vepsatirizes all that is ridiculous in Gothic horror, Victorian melodrama and conventional theatre.
After his first wife, Irma, meets her unfortunate demise on the mysterious moors, Egyptologist Lord Edgar takes Lady Enid as his second wife, much to the dismay of his protective maid, Jane, and his leering swineherd, Nicodemus. But when Lady Enid suffers a similarly supernatural attack, life at Mandacrest Estate quickly becomes a gripping whodunit where nothing is remotely what it seems.
Performed by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
TheatreFEST is funded in part by the City of Raleigh based on recommendations of the Raleigh Arts Commission.
