description: Critically, Ludlam's works were often overlooked or misunderstood, and since his death The Mystery of Irma Vep is the one of his 29 plays that is consistently performed in regional theatres. The plays are very visually oriented; much is lost in simply reading them. This work provides an overview of Ludlam's life and the roots of the ridiculous. It explores the theatrical underpinnings of his work and then the whole Ludlam canon.
