A ONE-man, musical-comedy version of Frankenstein is coming to Stourport.

Lamphouse Theatre will perform their show, Frankenstein (On a Budget), at the Civic Theatre on Saturday, May 10.

The show parodies the original Boris Karloff films and the Rocky Horror Show, while paying homage to Mary Shelley's original story.

With a full soundtrack of new music, weather-based puns, cardboard props, and an abundance of hats, this unique take on the cult horror story promises to be more frightful than frightening.

The show is recommended for ages 14 and above.

Producer Becky Owen-Fisher said: "Frankenstein (On a Budget) is the perfect follow-up On a Budget show, created by the same team that made War of the Worlds (On a Budget) in 2022.

"We’re back with a bang.

"Expect electrifyingly bad effects, cardboard chaos and a terrifyingly tenuous link to the Hammer horror films of the 30s.

"With a monstrously good soundtrack, a mountainous backdrop and one man trying to play all the parts, it’s a must see."

Tickets are £16 and can be booked via the Civic Theatre's website.
