Burien Little Theatre presents a world premiere adaptation of the horror story Frankenstein, written by Roxanne Ray and based on the novel by Mary Shelley, opening Sept. 30. This classic horror story is particularly relevant in an age when cloning, nanotechnology and genetically modified organisms are becoming a reality.
Frankenstein is the thrilling horror story of a young scientist's attempt at playing God and the disastrous results. Appalled by the deformed monster he has created, Victor Frankenstein abandons his innocent, bewildered creation. Rejected in horror by everyone he meets, the Creature becomes increasingly vengeful and bent on finding his creator--to make a ghastly bargain.
