MARY SHELLEY’S TIMELESS NOVEL about the creation of a Monster who is abandoned, “The Frankenstein Project”, is brought to the stage by Emmy Award-winning writer (“Sesame Street”) and La MaMa ETC Series Director (“Poetry Electric”) William Electric Black aka Ian Ellis James at Theater For The New City beginning February 22nd.
Using 13 original songs and dynamic physical theater staging a la Andrei Serban and The Open Theatre, W. Electric Black brings Shelley’s horrifying ghost story back to life.
Musical Director, William Wagner who made a masterful arrangement of Mr. Black’s Romeo & Juliet: Tribal Rock Musical, teams up with William Electric Black once again to heighten the actual story with “Into The Woods” like narration, at times, by Mary Shelley and a unique, Jim Henson like Imagineering by a 12-member ensemble.
Kamryn Sarratt is the Monster’s Bride in “The Frankenstein Project”.
The musical (“The Frankenstein Project”) will be shown at Theater for the New City starting February 22nd to March 10th Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 3 PM.
Also Straight Outta Theater For The New City, last year’s Memorial Day one woman show preview by Sophia Gutchinov.
