His more than 30 plays are among the most thought-provoking entertainments in the modern repertoire. As Ludlam himself put it, "This is farce, not Sunday school." This collection includes an introduction by Tony Kushner alongside Ludlam's most famous and celebrated works for the stage: “The Mystery of Irma Vep”: Ludlam's most famous play, this is a hilarious send up of Daphne de Maurier, Jane Eyre and Victorian cross dressing. “Camille”: based on “La Dame aux Camélias”, this satirical take on the tubercular courtesan brings any audience to unexpected heights of pathos and laughter. “Galas”: the life of opera singer Maria Callas imagined as a modern tragedy, in which Ludlam himself assayed the part of the diva. “Stage Blood”: Ludlam's take on Shakespeare, with actors putting on Hamlet both on stage and backstage; somehow, in this tragedy, everything comes out for the best. “Bluebeard”: somewhat based on H. G. Wells' “Island of Dr. Moreau”, “Bluebeard” tells the story of a mad vivisectionist in search of a third sex.
