The newest work by Edmonton’s acclaimed Catalyst Theatre, Frankenstein is a surprising, soulful, and lyrical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic gothic novel. The cautionary tale of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the Creature he constructs and then abandons is an enduring story that has inspired many adaptations. This production focuses on the human qualities of the characters and on our common need to feel that we can make a difference, to be accepted, and to love and be loved. Visually stunning and aesthetically original, Frankenstein has been noted for the remarkable ensemble of eight actors who play some 40 characters, for its haunting original melodies, and for its quirky and often ghoulishly humourous take on a familiar and consistently relevant story. The original Edmonton production won eight Sterling awards, including outstanding musical. Check every previous Frankenstein experience at the door and prepare to be transported.
