Horse Trade presents
A RADIOTHEATRE Production
Frankenstein

Written, Directed, & Composed by Dan Bianchi

From the critically-acclaimed, award-winning performance group, that brought you KING KONG, WAR OF THE WORLDS, DRACULA, THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE TIME MACHINE and more, now comes Mary Shelley’s masterpiece, FRANKENSTEIN, adapted for the stage with a great cast of story tellers, an original orchestral score and a plethora of sound effects! All that is required is your imagination!

RADIOTHEATRE is an award-winning PERFORMANCE GROUP that creates AUDIO THEATRE live on stage inspired by old time radio dramas, yet, does not seek to re create period radio programs, nor traditional plays. By combining 21st Century sound technology, uniquely written scripts, a cast of storytellers, original orchestral scores and a plethora of sound effects, Radiotheatre produces a new hybrid, environmental art form. Its content is also unique in that it draws its inspiration from pulp genres usually ignored by live theatre; ie, adventure, science fiction, horror, and crime. RADIOTHEATRE has been nominated Best Performance Group for five years in a row, has garnered over 13 nominations in various categories, has WON Best Music and Best Sound Design 2008 and is again nominated for two NY INNOVATIVE THEATRE AWARDS 2009. RADIOTHEATRE has produced 19 NYC shows in 5 years and currently runs SUNDAYS WITH POE now in its 9th month.
