Vampire attacks, werewolf sightings, and the resurrection of an Egyptian princess make for an exciting start to married life for Lady Enid, Lord Edgar’s second wife. Set in mystical Gothic England, this melodramatic farce – a quick-change marathon in which two actors play all the roles.
“kudos to Costume Designer Lisa Zinni for supplying a treasure trove of threads that play on the audience’s expectations of British period drama while subtly spoofing them” Cameron Kelsall Broadstreet Review
