Frankenstein 1930 is a theatrical tribute to the classic black-and-white horror films produced by Universal Studios in the 1930s. Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his assistant, Gorgo, gather body parts from various sources to build a monster, supposedly with humanitarian motives. However, the doctor is more obsessed with proving his scientific colleagues wrong, and ends up putting an abnormal brain inside of his bulky creature. Fully immersed in the scientific notion of harnessing the power of lightning, Victor’s experiment seemingly is a success. Unfortunately, it results in the horror of an untrained, ill-tempered, and yet strangely sympathetic Creature who
never asked to be made in the first place. Ultimately, after unsuccessful attempts to restrain it, the Creature becomes uncontrollable and also figures out that he’s alive because of the warped goals of Dr. Frankenstein. Other notable characters who are pulled into this gothic melodrama include Victor’s fiancée, Elizabeth, the matriarch Aunt Frederica, close friend Henry Lovitz, and
mentor Dr. Hellstrom. This play is a must-see for fans of the classic horror story!
