The Mystery of Irma Vep is a play in two acts by Charles Ludlam.  A penny dreadful, Irma Vep is a satire of several theatrical and film genres, including Victorian melodrama, farce and the Alfred Hitchcock film Rebecca.
 
The play includes eight characters that are to be performed by two actors. The actors play roles of both sexes. In order to ensure cross dressing, rights to perform the play include a stipulation that the actors must be of the same sex.  I am casting two males in the 25-35 age range.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.

The Mystery of Irma Vep is a fast paced, complicated and challenging show.  Actors with extensive stage experience only are asked to audition.  Actors will sign a contract prior to 1st read through.  Rehearsal schedules will be forthcoming following auditions.  Extensive weekend rehearsals required.

At the time of a paralyzing drought in the West we discover a girl whose father and two brothers are worried as much about her becoming an old maid as they are about their dying cattle. For the truth is, she is indeed a plain girl. The brothers try every possible scheme to marry her off, but without success. Nor is there any sign of relief from the dry heat. When suddenly from out of nowhere appears a picaresque character with a mellifluous tongue and the most grandiose notions a man could imagine. He claims to be a rainmaker. And he promises to bring rain, for $100. It's a silly idea, but the rainmaker is so refreshing and ingratiating that the family finally consent. Forthwith they begin banging on big brass drums to rattle the sky; while the rainmaker turns his magic on the girl, and persuades her that she has a very real beauty of her own. And she believes it, just as her father believes the fellow can actually bring rain. And rain does come, and so does love.
