Doctor Frankenstein

Thursday, October 26, 2023 @ 7:30pm



Grunin Center - Black Box Theater
1 College Drive, Toms River, NJ 08754

A new play by George Allison, presented by the OCC Repertory Theatre Company

What if Mary Shelley got it wrong…on purpose?

His life’s work laid to waste by Mary Shelley’s vindictive novel, Dr. Victor Frankenstein summons an audience of ghosts into an imagined operating theatre to present his side of the story in a bid to salvage his name and reputation. Mary Shelley said she created her tale “from a dream” but Victor believes there was much more reality involved – HIS reality. What was a fictional exploit for millions sent Victor down a spiral path of destruction in a story untold…until now.

That very subject is covered in a new show commissioned by New Jersey Repertory Company (NJ Rep) and now playing at their theater in Long Branch, NJ. How My Grandparents Fell in Love is based upon a true story which adds to the enjoyment of seeing this show.

REVIEW:

REVIEW: “The Mallard” at Premiere Stages

Nine years ago, Premiere Stages introduced me to the playwright Vincent Delaney with a production of Las Cruces. I thought he had a masterful ability to pull a topic right out of the day's headlines and place it into a story that showed the affect it had on real lives - turning the stories from mere statistics into something more. After seeing his latest work at Premiere Stages, I am fully convinced of his ability.
