A Penny Dreadful by Charles Ludlam is one of the most produced comedies in US history. It is a tribute to gothic horror films, liberally stealing from well known film clas-sics like "Wuthering Heights," "The Mummy's Curse" and Hitchcock’s "Rebecca." Literary detectives will also recog-nize dialog lifted from Ibsen, Shakespeare, and Poe. This definitive spoof of Gothic melodramas is complete with werewolves, vampires, damsels in distress and an Egyptian mummy. A hearty mixture of thrills, laughter and ex-travagant showmanship!
