Review: FRANKENSTEIN Resurrects a Classic at Prime Stage
What did our critic think of FRANKENSTEIN at Prime Stage? I'm a lifelong horror buff, devouring the Famous Monsters of Filmland on celluloid and printed page, as well as the artsy, philosophical 'elevated horror' that has become a literary and cinematic movement in the last decade. Both the schlocky and the thoughtful branches of horror can both trace their roots back to the shadow cast by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and its innumerable adaptations. For whatever reason, her novel itself has never been a favorite of mine, though I love the way she bucked convention and gender roles to invent literary science fiction and elevated horror. Maybe it's because Frankenstein has transcended being a character on the page in a story with a beginning and end, and become a genuine folk icon. Even a perfect adaptation of Shelley's novel will feel incomplete because the idea of Frankenstein is now so much bigger than the text of Frankenstein. Here, science fiction writer Lawrence C. Connolly and director Liam Macik thread the needle of the Frankenstein myth in an adaptation that stays unusually true to Shelley's novel but nods to sources beyond.

BWW Review: TWELFTH NIGHT Is Farcical Fun at Prime Stage
It's the Bard more or less as you know and love him... but with a dash of Jerry Lewis.

Throughline Theatre Company's JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG Opens Today
In the years following the end of World War II, most of the Nazi high command has been tried and sentenced for their crimes. Now, in the days that will mark the beginning of the Cold War, the former Justices of the Third Reich's highest courts face judgment by military tribunal for their role in the most notorious regime in modern history. In the face of mounting political pressure, the need to win the hearts and minds of the German people, and the ghosts of the recent past crying for revenge, the tribunal struggles to find responsibility for the atrocities that would scar the world for generations.

SAVING THE WORLD Premieres at The GreyBox Theatre Tonight
At the Saltwater research lab in Seattle, WA, a team of scientists debate whether the discovery of a limitless food source will save or destroy the world. Based on the philosophies of Daniel Quinn, Saving the World is a mad, manic, irreverent, relentless, and hysterical absurdist comedy that questions if our culture is capable of sustaining itself, and how much our own decisions can impact the entire world.
