The Mystery of Irma Vep is a satire of several theatrical and film genres, including Victorian melodrama, farce and the Alfred Hitchcock film Rebecca (1940).

The play is written for two actors who, between them, play eight characters of both sexes. It contains the occasional jibe of an adult nature, but is largely acceptable for younger audiences.

Time Magazine and the New York Times both named The Mystery of Irma Vep one of the Best Plays of the Year - and you will too!

Please note that due to the Sag Harbor fireworks display on July 6, the performance that evening will begin at 7 pm.
