Collected here for the first time are Ludlam's most famous and celebrated works for the stage: "The Mystery of Irma Vep" Ludlam's most famous play, this is a hilarious send up of Daphne de Maurier, Jane Eyre and Victorian cross dressing. Camille: based on La Dame aux Camelias, with Ludlam in the role of the tubercular courtesan, is both a laughfest and a tearjerker. "Galas" the life of opera singer Maria Callas imagined as a modern tragedy, in which Ludlam himself assayed the part of the diva. "Stage Blood" Ludlam's take on Shakespeare, with actors putting on Hamlet both on stage and back stage and somehow, in this tragedy, everything comes out for the best. "Bluebeard" somewhat based on H.G. Wells' Island of Dr. Moreau, concerns a mad vivisectionist in search of a third sex. Introduction by Tony Kushner.
