Impossible Productions presents
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
THE PLAY
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — It’s a comedy about making friends! This Halloween, crack the secrets of life everlasting with
the greatest mad scientist story ever created! YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play is Impossible Production’s larger than
life tribute to Gene Wilder and Mel Brook’s zany and shocking masterpiece that will leave you in stitches. It’s all-live!
Promising young neurosurgeon Fredrick Frankenstein (grandson to the notorious Doctor) inherits the ominous family
castle. Scoffing its infamous past, he visits the estate and Fate delivers him into the hands of Inga his beautiful new
assistant, Igor the outlandish hunchback, and Frau Blücher the enigmatic heinermacherfrau—all keys to his mysterious
legacy.
With the discovery of the castle’s secret lab and library, temptation proves too much and Freddy becomes obsessed with
continuing his Grandfather’s work—to reanimate a human cadaver—and turn a grave mistake into the acme of scientific
achievement!
But a corpse is a corpse, of course, of course, and the local burgomaster, history fresh in his mind, rallies the villagers into
a riotous mob hell-bent on hunting down Frankenstein’s Monster. And to complicate the grey matter the Creature kidnaps
Elizabeth, Freddy’s estranged fiancé. It comes down to his daring genius to save his creation at the risk of his own life—
will the Monster escape? Or will he meet his maker?
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN: the Play runs Fridays and Saturdays @ 8pm and Sundays @ 3pm, October 6-29, 2006.
