This adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1923 novel will keep you guessing at every turn!
by Brenda Bell
Based on the writings of Victorian women authors, three short plays coupled with brief dance interludes come together into a haunting and fresh new play that sheds light on the lives and fears of the Dark Ladies.
Ghost stories are not about the dead – but the fears of the living. Our mistresses of the macabre, female writers from the restricted era of the 19th and early 20th century, know how to spin a spine-tingling tale. Stories that manifest our deepest fears into flesh, bone and spirits – revealing the darker side we all crave – beyond the grave.

Add a protective butler, throw in a couple cousins, and you have a classic whodunnit. Try to beat the inspector to figure out who the killer is!
About the show
Obsession, desire, and ambition…through the eyes of a madman, nothing is sane! The Monster Off-Broadway lives in this original musical adaptation. Based on the horror classic by Mary Shelley, and brought to life with Gothic flair, this musical follows the ill-fated life of an ambitious Dr. Frankenstein who creates a monster and is forced to face the monster within. Published in 1818 and hailed as one of the first science-fiction novels, the story of man and monster is just as relevant today as it was in its first printing.
Frankenstein: The Musical features a book by Brenda Bell, and a score by Michael Sgouros for a live, percussion and cello based chamber ensemble.
The Stranger is one of Agatha Christie’s hidden gems—a psychological thriller that packs a lot of punch but is not well-known and therefore should be new treat for Agatha Christie lovers!
Enid rejects her fiancé and marries an exciting stranger. They move to a remote country cottage — all terribly romantic until dark secrets begin revealing themselves and we realize that no one is really who they say they are. This little-known Agatha Christie play perfects the art of the psychological thriller!
April 19th-24th, 2022
