Bluebeard
by Charles Ludlam
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, with some appreciating its humor and writing quality while others find it unenjoyable as a performance experience. There seems to be a divide between those who prefer watching rather than participating in the show.
Synopsis
Baron Khanazar von Bluebeard, the tyrannical landlord of a legendary lost island, is bent to create a third sex.
A bizare and zany comedy that will delight audiences.
Press Reviews

— The New York Times
"A drawing room grotesque right out of Bela Lugosi with Noel Coward thrown in for good measure. The Wall Street Journal "Contemporary high comedy."
