Frankenstein at Oil Lamp Theater

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...For those of you familiar with Oil Lamp Theater in Glenview, you know the stage is narrow and the theater itself is intimate with 60 seats. When they announced they were going to do a new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” I was concerned as to how they could pull that off. Again, this is a storefront in downtown Glenview with no curtain and a very limited stage. The director, Elizabeth Lovelady has a lot of guts and took the challenge on. While the show is not perfect, it is a wonderful piece of entertainment and knowing the heart and souls of the actors, as the run continues they will improve some of the tech problems that exist in a play with lots of scene changes on a small stage."
