The newest work by Edmonton's internationally acclaimed Catalyst Theatre, Frankenstein is a surprising, delightful, lyrical adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic gothic novel. Visually stunning, this award-winning production has been noted for the remarkable ensemble of eight actors who play some forty characters, its haunting original melodies and its quirky, and often ghoulishly humorous take on a familiar and surprisingly relevant story. A feast for the eyes and the ears.
“A monsterpiece … Christenson scores a dazzling trifecta. His book explores the story’s broader themes with stunning theatricality and emotion. His lyrics are simple but faithful to the complexity of the original and his music, ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan patter songs to gorgeous modern pop power ballads is accessible, even hummable … the audience was transfixed. A monster hit. ”
