Today we will complete our reading of The Mystery of Irma Vep by Charles Ludlam.
Our next play to read and consider is Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter. This will conclude our two person plays. Please read the script and watch the BBC performance of this play.
Information about Harold Pinter is here. Please read about him. This is also a link to his website. You can gather more information here as you please.

There will be a test on Pinter (biography information), the Dumb Waiter, The Mystery of Irma Vep, Charles Ludlam (biography information), The Ridiculous Theater Company, Tuesdays With Morrie, and Ludlow Fair on Monday. You should know characters, important or key information on these contemporary plays and playwrights, plot elements, major conflicts, and the structure of a 2-person play as it relates to these scripts.
