A text-faithful, experimental, music and movement rich adaptation of Mary Shelley’s masterwork presenting The Monster as a psychologically divided chorus.
After an intense run in New York City, this adaptation of Frankenstein has been licensed and produced by St. Norbert College in Wisconsin and by the Mont’Kiara International School in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The script was first published in the dramatically titled anthology: Playing With Canons: Explosive New Works from Great Literature by America’s Indie Playwrights,
and can be purchased electronically at indie theater now.
