Half term hilarity with Frankenstein! at the Phoenix

Miracle Theatre has been touring innovative comic theatre across the UK since 1979. Renowned for their surreal and comic re-workings of well-known and loved stories, Miracle’s inventive approach to Frankenstein! promises to tickle funny bones and have audiences jumping out of their seats!

Originally a Victorian novel, famously a black and white movie starring Boris Karloff and the inspiration for the 70’s musical, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Miracle presents its Frankenstein! as a musical - performed by the Ffitch Repertory Players in 1947.

Like past Miracle shows, The Revenge of Rumpelstiltskin and Aladdin, audiences will enjoy backstage glimpses of the intrepid players as they struggle to create their terrifying vision of the future - a world where the rich and famous have paid huge sums to have their bodies preserved at sub-zero temperatures in the Eternalife cryonics facility hoping that, one day, science will be able to reverse the ageing process.

When the power is cut off, Frank must race against time to construct a superhuman of epic proportions that can carry the precious genes of the rich and famous into the future.

His cut and paste creation is a hideous mistake. Feared by its creator, shunned by the world, the monster takes revenge. It craves the one thing it can never have...

Told with the visual flair of early cinema and the elegant charm of the post-war British musical, this silly, but tender, story of unrequited love,confused monsters and science gone mad promises to hit the spot, whether you’re a lover of traditional pantomime or looking for an alternative this Christmas.

Expect foot-tapping songs, dazzling dance routines, eye-watering comedy and a jolly good fright!
