500 Clown: “Frankenstein”
Jan. 14
Studio Theatre
This—one of my not-to-be-missed shows of the season—is not the Boris Karloff “Frankenstein.” It’s not the Mary Shelley “Frankenstein.” And it’s not, mercifully, the Kenneth Branagh “Frankenstein.” This is 500 Clown “Frankenstein,” which means you can expect all roles to be handled by three insanely gifted—and dexterous—artists dedicated to putting the “live” in live theater. Be warned: The Chicago-based group is noted for its extreme, rough-and-tumble acrobatics, so I can’t guarantee that you won’t end up with a performer in your lap. Details here.
