CCF14: [FRANKENSTEIN]

CFF_Frankenstien[FRANKENSTEIN]
Presented as part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’14
Gateways to Healing
Over-the-Rhine 

A disease of unknown origin is wiping out women in a place and time not far from here and now. Dr. Friend is a neurologist who, baffled by what’s happening, decides to “borrow” a body from the hospital and bring her back to life a la his favorite eerie novel. [FRANKENSTEIN] is a (very) loose adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Produced by Debra Kent

THE DEAD GUY is the Ultimate TV Reality Show. A young man gets to spend one million dollars over the next seven days, but the show’s producer and cameraman are allowed to follow him with a camera wherever he goes. There is a deadly catch involved – and it is all recorded on live TV, of course. Since he’s in a tough luck position, how can he turn the offer down?
