Review: NICK DEAR'S FRANKENSTEIN at Coasters Musical Theatre

The play is notable for it's unique perspective, telling the story from the creatures point of view rather than Victor Frankenstein's. The shift allows the audience to experience the Creatures journey and struggles firsthand. The plot follows the Creature as he navigates a hostile world, seeking acceptance and understanding, only to be met with cruelty and rejection.
