On Stage This Week: "Monster"

   Taking the stage on Wednesday is a new twist on the classic story of Frankenstein.

   It's a play called Monster, and it's being presented by the Marshall Theatre Alliance over two weekends, on Nov. 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre. 

   The play is a slick and streamlined new stage adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic science fiction story. It provides a disturbing yet poignant look at one man’s insatiable quest to defeat death by creating life, and the dreadful results of abandoning his creation. Monster weaves a chilling tale of rampant human ambition and ever-present human longing.

   The show is directed by my pal Clint McElroy, and while it's not for kids, grownups (and horror fans) will love it!
