Adapted from Mary Shelley’s novel

The newest work by Edmonton’s internationally acclaimed Catalyst Theatre, Frankenstein is a delightful, lyrical adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic gothic novel. The cautionary tale of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and the Creature he creates and then abandons, is an enduring story that has inspired many adaptations, but none quite like this one. Visually stunning and wholly original, this quirky production features a remarkable ensemble of eight actors who play some forty characters, haunting original melodies and a ghoulishly humourous take on the familiar and consistently relevant story. This Frankenstein focuses on the human qualities of the characters and on our common need to feel that we can make a difference, be accepted, and to love and be loved.

“the must-see play of the year [... ] a seamless combination of story, song, movement and visual arts that transcends genre.”
— The Edmonton Journal

“ This Tim Burtonesque musical digs very deep indeed.”
— The Globe and Mail

“ Un-bloody-forgettable...”
— The Vancouver Courier
