Based on Mary Shelley’s
classic novel and adapted by Victor Gialanella,

 FRANKENSTEIN is an intriguing tale of
horror and suspense perfect for
the Halloween season.

Set in nineteenth-century Switzerland, this classic tale of
horror and suspense details the ill-fated experiments of
young Dr. Frankenstein as he attempts to fathom the secrets
of life and death.
 
 Purchasing cadavers from two unsavory
grave robbers, he gives life to a creature both hideous and
touching—and so physically powerful and mentally twisted
that he soon brings death and destruction to all who stand
in his way.
 
Adhering more closely to the original novel than
did the famous motion picture versions, the play blends
moments of brooding terror and sudden shock with questions
of morality and the dangers of unrestrained scientific
inquiry. 
 
 Blending thrills and shuddering horror with
moments of touching sentiment and compelling philosophical
insights, the play accomplishes the singular feat of being
as moving and affecting as it is terrifying.
