Central Square Theater

Charles Ludlam’s The Mystery of Irma Vep turns melodrama, drag, horror, and farce into a piece of theatrical machinery. What does it take to direct a play so invested in transformation, excess, and illusion, and how does one shape its camp surface into a coherent theatrical world? Stay after the show for a conversation with director David R. Gammons on his approach to Ludlam’s seminal work.

Join us for a special Pride Month evening at Charles Ludlam’s The Mystery of Irma Vep, a play director David R. Gammons describes as a “a wild, Bacchanalian Celebration of Life”!
