Wellll, I can´t discredit the job they did in conveying Mary Shelley´s literature to stage. I do get the impression that they were trying to downplay the dynamic "horror" aspects of story, although the audience will find plenty of commercial suspense value, in addition to the intelligence of the text City Lit is using.

Main disappointment for me was intrerpretation of title character Dr. Frankenstein as a rather detached onlooker with a cynical drawl somewhere between those of Tom Lehrer and Gilbert on Leave it to Beaver. His scenes where his college professor first realizes Victor´s plan to reanimate dead matter, and in the "mad scientist´s laboratory" itself, should have been heightened a bit more dramatically, even if the overall intent of the production may have been to downplay melodrama -- fine, but I mean, c´mon, it´s Frankenstein!

Other than quibbling about the technology available to the Doctor in his lab (he appears also to have invented the electric light and the electric motor), I was generally satisfied that it was a good production. Rest of audience appeared to have agreed.

The production, acting and adaptation for the stage were all excellent. The story is a lengthy one so how a writer puts it into a short time frame is always interesting. Here they did a very good job and, as always, the acting performances from this play group are excellent.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was very impressed by the clever way the props were employed. The acting was top rate. I would recommend this company to anyone.

Amazing use of a small space. They did an amazing job creating Mary Shelley's story. Loved this show and would recommend everyone see it!
