Lifeline Theatre's FRANKENSTEIN Adds Two Week Extension Through 11/11

To accommodate ticket demand, Lifeline Theatre announces nine added performances of its critically-acclaimed production of Frankenstein, adapted by Lifeline ensemble member Robert Kauzlaric and directed by Lifeline ensemble member Paul S. Holmquist.

In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Kauzlaric and Holmquist, creators of The Island of Dr. Moreau in 2007 (winner of five Non-Equity Jeff Awards, including Production-Play and New Adaptation), return to the world of psychological suspense.

After an unexpected death shatters her family, Victoria retreats into the darkest recesses of her psyche in search of a way forward. To find meaning in an impossible loss, she brings a terrible creation to life - one whose existence threatens all hopes for the future. Haunted and hunted at every turn, Victoria must endure a nightmare journey of the soul in a quest for survival. Grapple with the demons of grief and denial in this world premiere adaptation of the 1818 thriller by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. The production runs ninety minutes with no intermission. The novel is on sale in the lobby.
