CLASSIC HORROR. Adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley. Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with discovering the secret of life, so he spends several months fashioning a man out of dead body parts. When Victor brings the Creature to life, the sight of his creation horrifies him. Saddened at being rejected by his creator, the Creature ventures out into the world only to be shunned by others due to his grotesque appearance. Lonely and alienated, the Creature begs Victor to create a female for him who can serve as his companion. At first, Victor agrees, but horrified at the prospect of the two creatures procreating, Victor destroys the Creature’s female companion. Enraged, the Creature seeks revenge on Victor by destroying everyone who is dear to him. A stunning, unforgettable stage experience!
