The Mystery of Myrna Vep

The joyous madness is back - now featuring Snorre Kind Monsson and Odin Haugan Fifteen years have passed since the cult classic The Mystery of Myrna Vep last delighted and frightened, almost breathing life into Oslo Nye's service. Because it is indeed possible to both laugh oneself to death and be scared to death, right…? Now, the vampire mystery is back at the prestigious haunted house Centralteatret – for the third time, now with the actors and comedians Snorre Kind Monsson and Odin Haugan in the roles. The satirical camp farce “Myrna Vep” revels in references to theatre, literature, and film genres as well as werewolves and vampires, in a theatrical play with extreme timing, pace, and millimeter precision, where two actors switch in and out of eight roles in an intricate tale with more than 40 role changes. The madness unfolds at the estate Mandacrest on the foggy English heathlands, where Lord Edgar Hillcrest and his second wife, Lady Enid, are happily newlyweds. The manor is maintained by the faithful housekeeper Jane and the farm boy Nicodemus. While the young bride Lady Enid tries to settle into the estate where the lord's first wife, Lady Myrna, mysteriously disappeared. Charles Ludlam's cult piece from off-off-Broadway in the eighties took Centralteatret by storm in 1996 with a legendary and critically acclaimed performance featuring Anders Hatlo and Johannes Joner, which was filmed by NRK and is preserved in the TV archive for eternal amusement. In 2011, it was the turn of Hittebarna with Stig-Werner Moe and Simon Andersen to perform the horror farce at Centralteatret. Now, the baton is being passed to Odin Haugan and Snorre Kind Monsson, who will bring us laughter, chills, and thrills – at a breakneck pace! Breakneck, did you say…?
