Event Details

Join us for a post-show conversation with director and scenic designer David R. Gammons and costume designer Seth Bodie that explores the process, challenges and pleasures of directing and costuming one of Charles Ludlam’s most beloved plays, The Mystery of Irma Vep.

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? What are the challenges and pleasures of capturing Irma Vep’s camp, humor, and Gothic excess with costumes that are fast, flexible, and thrilling? Find out after the 7:30 show.
