Based on Mary Shelley's 19th-century novel-turned-pop culture classic, the captivating must-see production from Liam Scarlett returns to our stage. Frankenstein features sensational choreography, cinematic design, costumes, special effects, pyrotechnics, and a haunting original score from Lowell Liebermann. Scarlett's production of the pioneering science fiction novel is a visceral and profoundly emotional tale of life, death, love, and identity.
