What is the biggest misconception about Frankenstein? How do you create a theatrical soundscape? What's better: complex makeup or no makeup at all?

Dave Ebersole and Mick Loro stop by the BSR Podcast to get into all this and more ahead of the premiere of their "fresh re-imagination" of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It will be staged with a tight ensemble in the round at Widener University's historic Lathem Hall, running October 10-20, 2024.

Ebersole adapted and directed the show, and Loro created the music. Together, they formed the theatrical duo Lightbooth Blackout, which teams with Lone Brick Theatre Company to present this show.
