The Frankenstein Monster Show

2002

Words: Les Scott

Music: Ken Bolam

This inventive and exuberant musical brings the old Frankenstein bang up-to-date – right into the computer age, in fact. When Frank Enstein arrives at Enstein Hall from the USA, he continues the reanimation experiments of his deceased great-great-uncle. Frank’s expertise in computer robotics and the timely arrival of Burke and Hare, two rather suspicious undertakers, soon have remote-controlled monsters rolling off the production line.

Demand soon outstrips supply, and it is then that Frank’s scheme takes an even more sinister turn as he sets up “The Dungeon Of Death” to obtain ‘voluntary’ corpses.

Dr. Ruby Watson and John B. Good, the family solicitor, foil his plans with a little help from Sherlock Holmes, Junior. Unfortunately, this involves most of the cast, goodies as well as baddies, being killed off, but with the help of Frank’s machine, all are reanimated in time for a rousing final chorus of Humanoid Boogie.
