“I’m glad to be back in the saddle, working on this very strange, wonderful and exciting show.”

“This was supposed to be the opening show last year,” Rohmann said. He said during last year’s season Silverthorne Theater produced several online productions over Zoom, and while this was a success, he was excited for this season to return to live-theater - albeit with health safety guidelines for audiences. This is Rohmann’s fourth production with the local theater company. While indebted to somber origins, director Chris Rohmann says the play is a non-stop delight. Set in the dismal halls of Mandacrest Manor in the English moors, Lord Edgar and his new bride Lady Enid try in vain to overcome the violent past and lurking terrors that haunt the house and its unhinged inhabitants. Written by Charles Ludlum, “The Mystery of Irma Vep” is a madcap “quick-change marathon' in which the two actors play all the roles: the lord and lady of the manor, the starchy maid with a bloody secret, the groundskeeper with an even bloodier one - plus a werewolf, a vampire, an ancient mummy and a lingering ghost.

Veteran actors Sam Samuels and Noah Tuleja star in this spoof of Gothic melodramas and vintage horror movies. Friday and Saturday shows will be held at 7:30 p.m., with Sunday shows at 3 p.m. The show will be performed at The Perch at Hawks & Reed, 289 Main St., Greenfield, on Friday, Saturday and Sundays between Oct. 1 in The Perch at the Hawks & Reed Performing Arts Center. Silverthorne Theater Company will kick off the 2021-2022 season with a production of the uproarious two-hander “The Mystery of Irma Vep: A Penny Dreadful,” opening Friday, Oct.
