Live Theatre Workshop presents
its 2009 Summer Season
The Mystery of Irma Vep
By Charles Ludlam
June 4 - July 19, 2009
"Far and away the funniest two hours on a New York stage..." N.Y. Times
This definitive spoof of Gothic melodramas, recently revived Off-Broadway to raves, is a quick-change
marathon in which two actors play all the roles. A sympathetic werewolf, a vampire, and an Egyptian
princess brought to life when her tomb is opened make this a comedy that has everything. Starring two LTW favorites, Steven Frankenfield and Cliff Madison.
Shirley Valentine
By Willy Russell
July 23 - August 16, 2009
"Absolutely smashing." N.Y. Post
"A joyful, captivating piece of theatre." N.Y. Daily News
As an ordinary middle class English housewife (Carlisle Ellis) prepares chips and egg for dinner, she
ruminates on her life and tells the wall about her husband, her children, her past, and an invitation
from a girlfriend to join her on holiday in Greece to search for adventure.
The Housekeeper
By James Prideaux
August 20 - September 27, 2009
LTW brings back one of itŐs most beloved comedies - The Housekeeper. It is the story of Manley Carstairs, a self-styled literary artist who, after the death of his mother, engages the services of a housekeeper, Annie Dankworth. A bit taken aback by her appearance (not to mention her belongings in a shopping cart), Manley decides to look beyond their differences and hire Annie. Conveyed in a series of fast-paced, juxtaposed scenes - some in the present, some in the past - the play covers all these unlikely events with lively wit and biting humor, becoming funnier and funnier as it builds to a thoroughly delightful ending.
