What's it About?

Lord Edgar Hillcrest returns to his ancestral home, Mandacrest, with a new wife, Lady Enid, after the untimely-and mysterious-death of his first wife, Irma Vep. Lady Enid soon learns life is anything but normal at Mandacrest, where werewolves run wild, a sinister housekeeper spikes the tea, and a creepy caretaker lurks just outside the parlor door. Will Lady Enid find happiness with Lord Edgar? Is Irma Vep really dead? What's inside the mummy case? Geoffrey Nelson and Jonathan Putnam play Enid, Edgar, the housekeeper, the caretaker, werewolves, vampires, mummies, and
more in this laugh-a-minute spoof of gothic thrillers.

CATCO first performed Irma Vep - a cross between Rebecca and Blazing Saddles - to great mirth in 1990. Here it comes... back from the dead!
