Frankenstein

Theater Review: “Frankenstein” — It’s Really Alive!

Frankenstein is a gripping amalgamation of the elemental and the technological.

Theater Review: An Epic Tale of Pursuer and Pursued — NT Live’s “Frankenstein”

In this compelling stage version of “Frankenstein,” urgency of revenge pushes forward, murder upon murder. Creature and Doctor merge in immorality. Both are playing God in their command of life and death. Sharing roles is the meaning of this theatrical experience. This is their message and their show.

Coming Attractions in Theater: March 2011

An exciting month, and that isn’t hyperbole. A couple of North American premieres: a futuristic opera from MIT’s Tod Machover and poet Robert Pinsky and a drama tweaking The New Testament from Howard Brenton. Toss in iconic director Peter Brook staging Beckett, F. Murray Abraham as Shylock, and Car Talk:The Musical and you are talking about taking out the smelling salts
