Theater: "Frankenstein"
Breathe a little life into the dead time surrounding formals weekend by going to one of Theatre Intime’s four performances of "Frankenstein." Kanoa Mulling '15 directs a five-member cast that portrays nine characters from Mary Shelley’s canonical novel. The play — an adaptation by one of Princeton’s own theater professors, R.N. Sandberg — takes its setting in the icy Arctic where the book ends, so see it if only to serve as a celebratory reminder of our mild winter. Besides, what else will put you in the holiday mood more than a Gothic representation of the undead?
