The Mystery of Irma Vep @ Court Theatre

Oct 28 2009

irmavep_homeNext week, keep an eye out for our direction street teams visiting college campuses throughout Chicago promoting The Mystery of Irma Vep opening  Thursday, November 12th at the Court Theatre in Hyde Park. Our teams will be distributing handbills and posting posters for this contender for the funniest American play of the last quarter-century.

Two actors take on innumerable dramatis personae in Charles Ludlam’s high-camp quick-change romp. Vep satirizes all that is ridiculous in Gothic Horror, Victorian melodrama, classic film, and conventional theatre. In addition, Court Theatre takes audience engagement to a whole new level by commissioning former University of Chicago math professor, Kevin Wald to create an exclusive crossword puzzle for the show. Wordplay, puzzles, and esoteric puns abound throughout the show and this crossword puzzle is not for the faint of heart

The Mystery of Irma Vep opens November 12th and will run through December 13th at the Court Theatre. Student Tickets are $24 and if you purchase your tickets before November 11threceive $10 off selected shows. For more details and to download the Mystery of Irma Vep crossword puzzle, click here.
