Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Cast: Jasimine Bouldin as Actor 2, Alexis Bronkovic* as Actor 3, Billy Chace* as Actor 5, John Patrick Hayden* as Actor 1 & Jay Wade as Actor 4

On a dark and stormy night, a group of friends challenge each other to tell a frightful tale and thus Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is born. Cast away by his creator, Victor Frankenstein’s rejected creature is thrust into a world that recoils in terror, disgusted by his inhumanity. A new spin on the gothic tale from the mother of science fiction promises to be a spine-tingling encounter with one of literature’s most iconic monsters. Ideal for the Halloween season, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein will ask the question: who is the real monster, creature or creator?

STOMP Runs Oct. 11-12

STOMP
Broadway in Cincinnati
Oct. 11-12
Aronoff Center Procter & Gamble Hall [Downtown]

STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows.

The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.
