“Irma Vep is ‘vampire’ anagram-atized!” reveals Lady Enid, one of seven characters played by two actors in University Theatre’s production of “The Mystery of Irma Vep.”
Well, of course it is. And that’s exactly the type of loopy twist you come to expect from this slightly risque horror-mystery-melodrama send-up that opened Friday to a full house at the Hemsley Theater on the University of Wisconsin campus.
…If there’s any drawback to the production, it’s the Hemsley’s annoying cabaret seating, the free popcorn notwithstanding.
