Burien Little Theatre is presenting a world premiere adaptation of the horror story "Frankenstein," written by Roxanne Ray and based on the novel by Mary Shelley, opening Sept. 30.

This classic horror story is particularly relevant in an age when cloning, nanotechnology and genetically modified organisms are becoming a reality.

"Frankenstein" is the thrilling horror story of a young scientist's attempt at playing God and the disastrous results. Appalled by the deformed monster he has created, Victor Frankenstein abandons his innocent, bewildered creation. Rejected in horror by everyone he meets, the Creature becomes increasingly vengeful and bent on finding his creator--to make a ghastly bargain.

This new version of the popular story is written by Seattle playwright Roxanne Ray from Mary Shelley's novel and will have an original background music score written by Seattle composer Allan Loucks. The show is suitable for ages 13 and older due to horror content.

"Frankenstein" will be performed at Burien Little Theatre from Sept. 30 through Oct. 30. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 to $20 online and $17 to $20 at the box office, with all tickets just $7 on Seven Buck Sunday, Oct. 2.

A performance schedule including dates, times and ticket prices is available at www.burienlittletheatre.org or call the ticket office at 206-242-5180.
