The grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of his sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and sultry lab assistant, Inga, Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds. Young Frankenstein has all of the panache of the classic film from Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks with a dose of theatrical flair, so you’ll be “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and having a monstrously good time!​

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Tue. Apr. 27 /

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

by Oscar Wilde
directed by Kate Berry

JUNE 28 – SEPT 8
MAINSTAGE THEATRE

 

A classic comedy of manners…
The most renowned of Oscar Wilde’s comedies tells the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. They attempt to win the hearts of Gwendolyn and Cecily, two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest. The pair become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. This classic comedy of manners pokes fun at Victorian sensibilities with some of the best loved characters to be found on the modern stage. Our production features Christy Brandt as Lady Bracknell and Annie Butler as Miss Prism.
Classic, Comedy, Farce, Romance
