FRANKENSTEIN 1930
By Fred Carmichael
Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater
Sept. 23 – Oct. 21, 2023
Directed by David Scaglione
Just in time for the Halloween season, FRANKENSTEIN 1930 harkens back to the Universal monster movies of the 1930s in a stage homage that features all the elements we love and remember from those films: the stone walled laboratory, the crazed scientist, angry villagers, a swooning yet determined heroine, a fearful storm, and the hideous but sympathetic creature with its confused mind and powerful, undisciplined body. Can Victor Frankenstein and his fiancée Elizabeth subdue his deadly creation, or will the final confrontation be the end of them all?!?
