Product Overview

Comedy

Characters: 2 men playing various roles

Simple sets

This definitive spoof of Gothic melodramas, recently revived Off-Broadway to raves, is a quick change marathon in which two actors play all the roles. A sympathetic werewolf, a vampire and an Egyptian princess brought to life when her tomb is opened make this a comedy that has everything.

Far and away the funniest two hours on a New York stage....What more meaningful gift could Ludlam bequeath [audiences] than to leave them eternally laughing. -The New York Times

A really good laugh ... The story has to be seen to be believed. -The New York Post

Lunatic fun that keeps you in stitches. -The New York Daily News

A true vaudeville tour de farce.... It's wonderful. -Time

A hearty mixture of thrills, laughter and extravagant showmanship. -The Village Voice
