Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus

The Historic Mounds Theatre
1029 Hudson Road St. Paul

As if being an eccentric inventor playing with the laws of nature wasn't enough, add being an ambitious female student in a male-dominated field to the mix and you'll get this drama that outrivals the medical scraps of those Grey's Anatomy interns. Mirroring the monster, this new adaption for the stage uses many parts that work together to create a cohesive feast for the eyes with scenes from gothic horror, throwback images to the iconic 1931 film, puppetry and stylized movement. This heartbreaking play breathes new feminist life into the old classic of Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus with an eerie parade of misshapen beings at The Historic Mounds Theatre in Saint Paul.
