REVIEWS
"With only a small cast of six and a brilliant use of low lighting and multimedia film on screens, the stage setting is ingenious and astoundingly effective. Everything has been considered to heighten the audience’s experience"
WEEKEND NOTES
"The work’s emphasis on production design ensures aesthetic engagement is delivered in abundance. Craig Wilkinson’s video design is used to seamlessly transition scenes and establish setting and time to move us through the seasons, and Josh McIntosh’s design is considered to let the audience in to all of the narrative’s perspectives"
BLUE CURTAINS BRISBANE
"The projection and moving parts heighten the story to a modern historical period drama with choreographed transitions into each scene."
ARTSHUB
"It tells the quintessential tale of a scientist and his “monster” on a large scale, and with no shortage of spectacle."
LIMELIGHT
"Frankenstein uses an impressive depth of stage, and a triple revolve keeps actors, props, and set pieces in constant motion in multiple directions. Video design by Craig Wilkinson is integrated with the onstage action, adding to the impression of scale and creating distinct settings, from Frankenstein’s palatial family home in Geneva to the changing seasons of the forest where his creature lives for a year."
LIMELIGHT
"The use of projections added a layer of complexity to the production. Running and seeing characters on both screen and stage seamlessly integrated the visual elements of the storytelling blurring the lines between reality and illusion."
