Frankenstein

by Jack Neary

This is a stage adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley novel. Here's what one reviewer has said about the "It says something about this story's appeal, and writer/director Jack Neary's genius, that we can know so much about what will happen and yet sit mesmerized, waiting for the horror to widen in the darkness. Neary does more than adapt the story Mary Shelley wrote as a precocious if morbid teenager in 1818. He re-imagines its settings and language, teasing out its conundrums of spirituality and existence. Neary keeps it interesting, and keeps the horror horrid, by lightening the play's many quick scenes (there are 40-odd short ones, movie-style) with humor, gallows and otherwise."

I think I adapted this. So I think I'm going to give it five stars.
