FRANKENSTEIN UNEARTHED
AN ORIGINAL DIGITAL PERFORMANCE
FOR FAMILIES, BY FAMILIES.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Come along with Trusty Sidekick on a monster-making adventure like no other where families are at the center of a humorous retelling of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic story, Frankenstein. Janet Shelley is a world renowned Ethonogist studying lost cultures of the world. She also happens to be the great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. While working in Ingolstadt, Germany and in a happenstance of almost divine serendipity, Janet has uncovered documentation that some actual truth may lie within the story of Doctor Frankenstein and his infamous creature.
FRANKENSTEIN UNEARTHED was performed live from homes across the United States on Sunday, October 25, 2020. Check out the full recording of the world premiere!
Appropriate for all ages.
