Frankenstein: A Ghost Story
Frankenstein: A Ghost Story is a live, intimate, and emotional theatrical event—part adaptation, part poltergeist, part confession.
A Storyteller stands before us to perform an adaptation of Frankenstein he once created and performed as a duet with a Musician. Together, they traveled, told stories, and made a modest life bringing classic stories like this one to life. But something happened a couple of years ago. Now, he’s attempting to perform this “duet” alone.
At first, the evening feels familiar: a single performer the promise of a classic tale retold. As the Storyteller guides us through Shelley’s novel—Victor Frankenstein’s obsession, creation, abandonment, and reckoning—cracks begin to form. Sound cues misfire. Old recordings bleed through. Lights behave strangely.
The absence of the Musician becomes impossible to ignore. And slowly, another story emerges.
Come for Frankenstein. Stay for the haunting.
Frankenstein was originally set to premiere at KC Repertory theatre on March 13th, 2020 (yes, Friday the 13th). We have exciting news coming soon…
