In September The Hudson River Shakespeare Company will present Frankenstein by Tim Kelly, based on the novel by Mary Shelley. “This adaptation is very true to the novel and one of the best interpretations I’ve seen or read,” said director Andy Daly. The cast includes Jim Plante as Victor Frankenstein and Matt Smith as his creation. Company veterans Bruce VanGuilder and Judi Gross play Henry Clerval, Victor’s friend and mentor, and Frau Frankenstein, Victor’s mother. New comer Angee Munger takes the role of Elizabeth, Victor’s fiancée, while Dave Lundgren, Emily Austin, Danielle Lambert, and John Macri round out the cast.
Performances take place at The Little Theater on the Farm, Plum Road, Fort Edward on September 21 and 22 at 8pm with matinees on September 22 and 23 at 2pm. Tickets are $10 and $8 for high school students and seniors 60 or older. Please call 747-4418 or email hrsc1999@aol.com to make reservations.
