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
