Top of PageNightmare of Frankenstein
Synopsis:
the House of Frankenstein is in turmoil. Victor Frankenstein, engaged to a woman he deeply loves, has fallen into a fit of despair. the cause of Victor's behavior is, in fact, a Creature he brought to life. Contrary to what Victor intended, however, his Creature is hideous to look upon. So much so, that the Creature has covered his face so he won't have to see his own reflection. Desperate, the forlorn Creature strikes a bargain with Victor: If the young scientist will create a suitable bride for him, the Creature will retire with her to the cold and distant Arctic, never to be seen again. When Agatha, the blind housemaid, senses the "faintest Pulse of life" and tries to touch the bride's body still being formed, the Creature pushes the maid away, accidently killing her. A furious Victor shouts, "the life of your bride for Agatha's" and destroys the Creature's unfinished mate. the Creature vows a terrible revenge and Victor must set out to destroy the very life he created.

Top of PageRed Badge of Courage, The
Synopsis:
While still in his early 20s, Stephen Crane wrote "The Red Badge of Courage." Born seven years after America's Civil War, and yet to witness combat situations as a war correspondent, Crane nevertheless wrote what is acknowledged as a masterpiece of American literature. The timeless story of Henry Fleming, an 18-year-old who must come to grips with his own fears in a long and bloody battle during America's Civil War, speaks to the terrors and doubts besetting soldiers then and now. But the novel also speaks to the courage they somehow find in the midst of carnage. Adapting this great novel for the stage presents both great opportunities and tremendous challenges. Our intent from the beginning was to preserve the integrity of Crane's masterpiece - its essential characters, its language, its probing of young Henry Fleming's mind and heart. In doing our adaptation, we were going to stay true to the story Crane wrote. And why wouldn't we? The novel has captivated readers for more than 100 years. The audience for our adaptation whether they had read Crane's book or not, would not see a prettied-up or fanciful version of "The Red Badge of Courage." They would see the real thing-the novel transformed-on stage. We read and re-read the novel, culling the narrative for its most telling moments. We converted these narrative moments into scenes, and introduced certain of Crane's characters into those scenes. In a few instances, we devised scenes in order to enhance the audience's understanding of the story or the realties soldiers North and South faced during this epic struggle. Our determination to stay true to Crane's work never wavered. Now, at a time when the nation is commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, we have an adaptation that never strays far from the honesty of the novel. That honesty is sometimes ennobling, sometimes not, but it is what makes The Red Badge of Courage so extraordinary. Joseph Conrad is only one of many literary titans who revered the novel. We share the passion of Conrad for this unforgettable story of a young man come face-to-face with the horrors of war. We hope and believe our adaptation does the story justice.
