Synopsis
Buzz Halliburton, an entertainer fallen on hard times, is summoned to Gargoyle House, a spooky castle on a lonely New England island. With him is his partner, Admiral Byrd, a penguin who can tap dance to "Puttin' on the Ritz." The relatives turn out to be candidates for the funny farm. Colonel Snipes plots to blow up the island. Veronica, his wife, wears evening gowns in the daytime. Little Messalina is a child terror who has baby piranhas for pets. The housekeeper, who often appears without her head, is menacing; the gardener is probably insane. One grisly murder takes place before Buzz's arrival, but there are more to follow! Because of the family curse, there's a werewolf in the house. But who can it be? The new governess? Sheriff Birdsong? The neighbor with the leaky boat? Olga, the gypsy, who still uses a wagon and horse? Things really get hot when Buzz is declared heir to the Snipes fortune and a young man claiming he is the real Buzz Halliburton shows up only to be wolfed down. Who dunnit? Everything is here from a touch of light romance to a classic "will-reading" scene with fiery red eyes at the window. The laughs never stop and there are plenty of chills. Simple to stage, this energetic and crazy spoof will keep your audience howling. P.S. You don't need a real penguin.

Customer Reviews
Curse of the Werewolf has enough unique parts to satisfy any group. Even with our limited facilities, it went over very well with the cast and the audience.
This energetic and crazy spoof will keep your audiences howling.
Curse of the Werewolf is a perfect play for introducing young casts to the conventions of farce. Some great broad characters and ever-increasing pacing. It also teaches the necessity of timing and reaction. Also useful for teaching old-style sound effects ... Set can be very simple or as complex as you want. This show is a dynamite choice for the budget-conscious. For those with bigger budgetsÑthis thing can look spectacular.
What an audience pleaser! The students had a blast bringing these whacky characters to life. Fun for all.
