Emma Frankenstein is a hilarious monster mash and moves briskly through the 1880s and the 1980s. Bravo... full review

A hysterical and clever mixing of two literary classics essayed by a super-talented ensemble.... full review

Every Fringe season brings a new crop of silly spoofs, and this one falls squarely in The Middle: a High Concept that generates a hearty laugh from time to time but is weakened by a tepid "song score" which is dependent on sitcom theme songs from two generations ago. A talented cast, given striking costumes but nothing else to work with, is dominated by its men: Michael Lanahan, funny as a Victorian misogynist; Bryan Krasner, with a unique new take on "Frank" (the Monster), and Graham Skipper, wringing every ounce of Zach Galifanakis out of Dr Frankenstein. An over-the-top subplot involving a rivalry between a tiara-clad Jane Austen and a tiara-clad Mary Shelley fills out the speedy sixty minutes. ... full review
